Orionids

Just a reminder that Orionid meteor shower will be peaking early in the morning on October 21. Look to the constellation Orion, the meteors should appear to be coming from there (hence the name!). If you are viewing them the night before, look to the east after midnight.
Also around October 13, Venus and Saturn should be visible in the early morning sky very close together.

I didn't- I'm kind of sporadic in looking up to the heavens and keeping track of cool stuff that's going on. Did you see it?
