The Orionids are an annual autumn asterisk of moderate intensity, characterized by fairly fast white aspersions. They leave their trajectory in the night sky. Sometimes red, bluish-green, yellow and orange asps are also found among them.
"Astronomers expect to see up to 15 stars per hour ... the star stream is clearly visible in both hemispheres," experts explained.
The Orionids get their name from the constellation Orion, in which the radiant of the asupic stream is located, the point from which the asupis shoot out. In mid-latitudes, the best time to view the Orionids is from midnight to dawn, when the constellation Orion is well above the horizon.
Stellar streams occur when the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun, meets a group of meteorites, and the latter, penetrating the Earth's atmosphere, burn up and leave trails resembling "shooting stars" that can be seen in the sky for a few seconds.
