Heads Up, Stargazers!

If you haven't heard already, the Orionid Meteor Shower is going on this weekend.

This is a yearly event that occurs when the Earth passes through the debris trail of Halley's Comet. You'll have to set the alarm clock, though, to see it this year. The best viewing time is early Sunday morning before sunrise.

The forecast is looking ideal for seeing the meteor shower. We're calling for mostly clear skies Saturday night and with most of the moon dark, meteors should be easy to spot.
