Quadrantids Peak Brings 20 Meteors per Hour
The Jeddah Astronomical Society expects the peak of the Orionid meteor shower to occur at dawn on Thursday, October 22, 2026. This shower occurs annually as a result of debris left behind by Comet Halley as it passes around the Sun. Under ideal conditions, about 20 meteors can be observed per hour, but this depends on sky conditions such as light pollution and moon brightness. The Orionids are typically active from October 2 to November 7, with the best viewing after midnight until before sunrise, especially with the increasing crescent moon which may obscure the faint meteors. The meteors appear to originate from the constellation Orion, specifically from the radiant point. Observing this phenomenon is easy with the naked eye in dark areas far from city lights, but it is necessary to adapt to darkness to achieve the best viewing experience.
