Orionid meteor shower

The Orionids are remnants of Halley?s Comet scattered along its orbit, one of the finest meteor showers in the year. The meteors appear to radiate from a point just between Orion?s club and the Gemini twins? feet, but may be seen anywhere in the sky.( 20 meteor per hour)

Mars is fading into the west towards the sun. It moves from Libra through Scorpius into Ophiuchus during the month. Mars is low in the southwest at sunset and sets around 8:00 p.m.

Jupiter is now well placed most of the night in Taurus. It rises around 9 p.m.
