Orionids Meteor Shower 2026
The Orionids are an annual meteor shower created by debris left behind by Comet 1P/Halley. As Earth passes through this debris stream, tiny particles enter our atmosphere at around 66 km/s, producing bright streaks of light known as meteors.
The meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Orion, giving the shower its name. At its peak, the Orionids can produce around 20 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. The Moon will remain visible throughout the night, and its brightness may reduce the visibility of fainter meteors.
Arrive at the desert, check in, get your wristband, settle in, and get ready for an unforgettable night under the stars.
Discover the story behind the Orionids and learn how tiny pieces of Comet Halley create one of October’s most fascinating meteor showers. Explore why meteors appear, where they come from, and how to observe them.
Ask questions, share your curiosity, and dive deeper into meteors, comets, and the night sky.
Learn how ancient cultures understood the stars through stories and legends, while discovering how to identify constellations and navigate the night sky using a sky map.
