[tag:orionids] (used **October 20 - October 26, 2013**) > The Orionid meteor shower, usually shortened to the Orionids, is the most prolific meteor shower associated with Halley's Comet. The Orionids are so-called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Orion, but they can be seen over a large area of the sky. Orionids are an annual meteor shower which last approximately one week in late-October. In some years, meteors may occur at rates of 50-70 per hour. <sub>from Wikipedia</sub> I suggest that this tag run next week during the Orionid meteor shower. *** *Posted by: called2voyage - Upvotes: 2*
