The Orionids, the meteor shower of the autumn, will reach their peak on Tuesday and Wednesday night in the northern hemisphere, including Greece, ANA reports.
They are active every year in October, usually peaking around October 20-21. At the meteor shower’s peak, up to 20 “shooting stars” are visible every hour.
If you miss this week’s meteor shower, you can still catch the Leonids in November and the Geminids in December, which are associated with the Tempel-Tuttle comet and the Phaethon asteroid, respectively.
