Remembering to go out & watch, probably won't be memorable

This weekend will be a feast for American sky watchers. The Orionid meteor shower is to take place Saturday night and Sunday morning. The meteor shower initiated by Halley’s Comet will peak during the night from Saturday to Sunday (October. 20-21), says space experts. The shower happens when Earth goes through the debris from the comet as it moves around the Sun.
