A dazzling meteor shower is headed our way, courtesy of the famous Halley's Comet.
The Orionid meteor shower is active from Sept. 26 to Nov. 22, with a peak during the early morning hours of Friday, Oct. 21. NASA says this shower is considered "one of the most beautiful meteor showers of the year," known for bright, fast shooting stars that leave long trails glowing in their wake.
Fast meteors like the Orionids can sometimes even leave "fireballs," or longer explosions of light. (One such meteor startled Seattle last week.

Saw one streak across the sky in south MS. Thanks for the heads up on this, TF.

You are certainly welcome friend. We're still seeing plenty, early morning away from lights, on the back of the property.
