The night sky will host one of autumn's best meteor showers at the start of the new week as the Orionids reach their annual peak.
The display will ramp up on Monday night into the early morning hours of Tuesday, when as many as 20 meteors per hour could streak across the sky.
While a few shooting stars may be visible after sunset, the best part of the show will come during the second half of the night.
Activity typically peaks between 2 a.m. and daybreak, local time, when Earth faces directly into the stream of debris responsible for the shower.
