The Orionids, which send streaks of light across the dark skies, are best seen by getting away from city and street lights, according to NASA.
The Orionids travel at 148,000 mph and, because of their speed, can sometimes become fireballs when they enter Earth's atmosphere, NASA said, telling viewers to"look for prolonged explosions of light." With no moon in the night sky, at the Orionids peak, about 15 meteors per hour can be seen.
NASA advises that you"lie flat on your back with your feet facing southeast if you are in the Northern Hemisphere, or northeast if you are in the Southern Hemisphere." You should also be patient, and give your eyes time to adjust to the dark.
