Orionid meteor shower to peak later this week - when and how to see it

Stargazers should keep an eye out for the Orionid meteor shower which is due to peak this week.

The Orionids are the particles that disintegrate as they fall into the planet's atmosphere, creating bright streaks across the sky every October.

The light show is caused by debris from Halley’s Comet, which was last seen in 1986 and will next be visible in 2061.
