The Straits Times

Avid stargazers can look forward to catching a dazzling celestial show when shooting stars streak across the Singapore sky on two nights next week.

- Calista Wong

The shooting stars - or more accurately, a meteor shower called Orionids - will hit peak activity in Singapore skies between Oct 21 and Oct 22, said The Observatory at Science Centre Singapore in a statement on Oct 14.

The Orionids so named because the meteors appear to emerge from a spot near the constellation Orion the Hunter - are believed to be among the most impressive meteor shower displays visible to the naked eye.

The observatory said: "The Orionids occur when Earth passes through debris left behind by Halley's Comet.
