Orionid Meteor Shower Peaks in Early Hours of October 22; Hong Kong Space Museum Suggests Watching from 2am to 5am

The Orionid meteor shower will reach its peak in the early hours of October 22, and the Hong Kong Space Museum suggests the best local viewing time is from 2am to 5am. The Hong Kong Observatory estimates a zenithal hourly rate of about 20 meteors per hour, with up to 5 meteors visible per hour locally. Observers should face southeast to east and choose a location away from lights with an open view; viewing with the naked eye is sufficient.
