OH-HI-ION THIS EPISODE IS ABOUT ORION THE HUNTER AND A METEOR SHOWER BUT YOU DON T HAVE TO HUNT FOR IT, WE VE GOT YOU STARFAM!
HIT THE DARKNESS AFTER ONE AM ON OCTOBER 21 FOR THE BEST SHOT AT SEEING THE SHOWER.
FIND A SPOT WITH CLEAR VIEW OF THE EASTERN SKY TO LOOK FOR ORION.
HE LOOKS LIKE AN HOURGLASS WITH A SPARKLY BELT OF THREE STARS.
HIS TOP LEFT STAR IS RED GIANT BETELGEUSE BUT DON T CONFUSE IT WITH BRIGHT RED MARS RIGHT HERE!
IN BETWEEN MARS AND BETELGEUSE IF YOU RE LUCKY YOU LL SEE UP TO FIFTEEN METEORS PER HOUR.
THEY RE TYPICALLY BLAZING FAST AND ON THE FAINTER SIDE, BUT IF NOTHING ELSE YOU LL GET A GREAT VIEW OF MARS AND ORION!
PLUS, IF YOU WAIT LONG ENOUGH AND GET NIGHT VISION THE ORIONIDS EMANATE FROM ORION S RAISED CLUB, THE FEET OF THE TWINS OF GEMINI AND THE TIP OF MONOCEROS UNICORN HORN!
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND AND AS ALWAYS, KEEP LOOKIN UP!
