Two things are happening in the Magic Valley tonight that could make it a great one for sky watchers: The Orionid Meteor shower and clear skies.

reminder from NASA on Twitter about the peak of the Orionid meteor shower being Friday night.

Combine that with a forecast for clear skies in the Magic Valley and you might want to plan some time in the back yard tonight.

If you're afraid of bugs, there are also several live streams of the Orionids on YouTube.

If you capture any great pics, please share. We are suckers for big flashy things in the sky.
