STARGAZERS across Scotland could be in for a spectacular cosmic display on Friday night, as long as the weather stays clear.
At midnight on Friday, the Orionids meteor shower will be at its peak with debris from Halley’s comet set to streak across the night sky.
The Orionids is the most prolific of all the showers linked to Halley’s comet and while active throughout October, the space phenomenon will be at its most vibrant on Friday night – with up to 25 visible meteors an hour.
