ORIONID METEOR WATCH: The annual Orionid meteor shower, caused by dusty debris from Halley's Comet. Little was expected of this year's display because a bright Moon is hanging in the pre-dawn sky, causing an interfering glare. Surprisingly, however, sky watchers on Oct. 20th witnessed 15 or more Orionids per hour, many of them brighter than first magnitude stars.
