The Orionids, one of the fastest meteor showers of the year, are created by debris from Halley's Comet. For the 2026 peak, a bright Moon will wash out much of the night sky, making timing and viewing strategy more important than usual. Guides are advising stargazers to plan around moonrise and peak hours to catch the brightest meteors.
