Orionids 2025: Meteor Shower Peaks with Two New Comets
The annual Orionid meteor shower, produced by Halley's Comet, will peak on October 21, coinciding with the brightest points of comets Lemmon and SWAN in the night sky.
According to the American Meteor Society, the Orionid meteor shower runs from October, benefiting from a new moon and profound darkness, but clear weather is still required to see meteors and the brightening comets.
- Comets Lemmon (C/2025 A6) and SWAN (C/2025 R2) will be at their brightest.
- The Orionids are the main event in fall's "meteor season".
