The Orionid Meteor Shower is expected to produce dozens of meteors / "shooting stars" tonight and into the early AM tomorrow. Earth is apparently passing through some debris that was left by Halley's Comet, most of the shooting stars will be from sand grain sized bits but some may be up to the size of a pea.
Times to watch are between 1AM and 6AM (Eastern Time) with peak activity expected to be round 6AM.
