Prepare your eyes to watch the Orionid meteor shower is very beautiful. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said the best time to view the meteor shower of splinters Halley's Comet is Wednesday (21/10) at sunrise when Washington, United States, or Wednesday night in Indonesia.

According to Bill Cooke of the office of the NASA Office Environment Meteoroids, fragments of comet dust hitting the atmosphere that would provide tens of beautiful scenery gliding meteors per hour. Whereas to enjoy its beauty, we do not need a telescope, enough with the naked eye.
The best time to see it in Indonesia between 01.00 WIB o'clock in the morning until the wee hours. It was then that the Earth is where we stand right on the orbital path, so that the material in the sky would be "captured" our atmosphere. However, some meteors may appear before midnight.
Orionid appear every year when Earth's orbit through the area filled with the ruins of an ancient comet. Usually, the rain of comets produce 10 to 20 meteors per hour. But the last few years, a meteor shower looks more dense than in previous years.
Cooke added, since the 2006 Orionid has become one of the best meteor showers due to show more than 60 meteors per hour. According to Japanese meteor expert, Mikiya Sato and Jun-ichi Watanabe, when the meteor shower scene Wednesday was covered with clouds, then try again seen at 22 or October 23.
Meteor ray is very close distance to the equator. Thus, observers in both hemispheres can enjoy the beautiful scenery clearly. Moon added that no longer appeared in the sky before dawn. However, one bright moonlight will not be a problem.
Not only that, the screen space would be framed by the beauty of the stars and planets that decorate the night sky. Orionid addition, you can also see the brilliant planet Venus and Mars, Sirius constellation, Orion, Gemini and Taurus. Even if no visible meteor showers, the sky was amazing there were not.
