Orionids meteor shower reaches peak over Saudi skies in pre-dawn hours

RIYADH: It is a good time to be a skygazer as the annual Orionids meteor shower is at its peak in the coming hours. The event, which happens 60 miles up in space, is one of the most impressive displays of the celestial calendar, and is known for being bright and fast. The Jeddah Astronomy Society said the skies over Saudi Arabia and the Arab region will witness the meteor shower at its peak. It is expected to be clearly visible in the pre-dawn hours when its radiant point is high in the sky toward the southeastern horizon.
