This month, the Orionid meteor shower will reach peak activity soon after the short-lived Draconids come and go.
The Orionids are a medium-strength shower that sometimes reaches high rates of activity. In 2021, the meteor shower will be active between September 26 and November 22, reaching its peak on the night of October 20-21, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS).
Unfortunately, the moon will be completely full on this night, significantly reducing the chances of seeing Orionid meteors.
