The Orionid meteor shower has been very active the past few years, and is expected to peak Wednesday morning around 6:00am. Although the best time for viewing can be anywhere from 2:00 to 6:00 am. Astronomers are saying this year’s show could be just as good or better than previous years because of an absence of moonlight.
