Unfortunately, this year’s shower may not be one to remember. On Tuesday, Oct. 19, a full moon is predicted to take the night sky. This will overlap with the Orionid shower, which is predicted to hit during the early morning hours of Wednesday, Oct. 20, so the full moon’s light may flood the night sky and block out the display.
“The Orionids are going to, frankly, suck this year … the moon will be up all night, from sunset to sunrise,” NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke said.
