GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Emily Schuitema says the Perseid meteor showers peaked a few months ago, but another meteor shower is set to put on a show this week.
She says the peak of the Orionid meteor showers will arrive early in the morning on Wednesday. Tuesday and Thursday will also be good days to try your luck.
Meteorologist Emily Schuitema noted that though this meteor shower doesn’t produce as many meteors as the Perseids, there is still the potential to see 10 to 15 meteors per hour under a dark sky. The moon will set in the evening as Orion rises in the east, so no moonlight will pollute the view. Some meteors will be visible in the late evening, but the best time to look will be in the hours before dawn.
