Orionid Meteor Shower to Peak November 28, โค2025: How to See the Show
The Orionid meteor shower โwill reachโค its peak on the โขevening of November 28, 2025,โฃ offeringโฃ a โpossibly spectacular celestial display. According to astronomy site In โTheโข Sky, theโ shower is best viewed whenโค the Orion constellation is high in the sky.
The peak phase marks the โhighest level โคof โคmeteor activity in a single โขnight, providing โคobservers with the opportunity to seeโ numerous meteors streaking across the sky at high speed. Clear skies are crucial โขfor optimal viewing.
Originating from debrisโค left behind by Comet Halley, the Orionids occur annually as Earth passes through these particle paths, causing โคfriction with the atmosphere and creating flashes of light. These meteors are known for โtheir speed and โbrightness,โ frequently enough displaying light trails lasting several seconds.
The radiant – the point from which the meteors appearโ to originate โฃ- is located near the star Betelgeuse โin the constellation Orion, visible in the eastern sky before dawn.
tips for Observing:
* Dark Location: Seek out a viewing spot โคaway from โฃcity lights andโ other โขsources โof light pollution.
* Start Late: Beginโ observing after midnight,when theโค Orion โขconstellation reachesโฃ a higher position inโ the sky and meteor activity increases.
* Dark Adaptation: Allow your eyes โ20-30 โminutes to adjust to the darkness โfor better โvisibility of fainter โคmeteors.
* Naked Eye Viewing: Meteor showers are best observed with theโ naked eye,โ as telescopes limit the โขfieldโค of view.
* Check the Forecast: Ensure clear weatherโค conditions for โฃunobstructed viewing.
