Shooting stars are pictured in a starry night sky above a grassy hill featuring a single tree.

The Orionid meteor shower has arrived! Look up on the nights between Oct. 2 to Nov. 12 to see tiny shards of Halley's comet strike Earth's atmosphere to create spectacular shooting stars and fireballs in the night sky.

Orionid meteors are known for leaving glowing trains, or trails, in the night sky and can be spotted each year as Earth dives through the dense trail of debris shed by the wandering Comet 1P/Halley.
