The season of the Orionid Meteor Shower has come. Its peak is said to be from October 19 to 23. There will be about 20 shooting stars in an hour. If you are lucky enough, you might see about 50 shooting stars in an hour.
Since 2006 the numbers of shooting stars have been increasing, and this year would be the last year you could observe under the good condition because there is no moonlight this year. The reason of increasing the number from 2006 to 2010 is the dusts from the Halley's Comet of 3000 years ago would be close to the earth.
Next big cycle will come 70 years later. So don't miss this opportunity.
From my experience, the sleeping bag is the best thing to bring. Believe me.
