The waxing gibbous moon will set around midnight, so watch for meteors just midnight through the wee hours of dawn. These fast-moving meteors sometimes produce bright fireballs, which might be able to overcome a moonlit glare. If you trace these meteors backward, they seem to ra.

The waxing gibbous moon will set around midnight, so watch for meteors just midnight through the wee hours of dawn. These fast-moving meteors sometimes produce bright fireballs, which might be able to overcome a moonlit glare. If you trace these meteors backward, they seem to radiate from the Club of the famous constellation Orion the Hunter. The Orionids is produced by dust grains left behind by comet Halley, which has been known and observed since ancient times.
