Orionid Meteor Shower

Meteor showers are one of life's most fascinating occurrences, and remind us of just how small we really are in the grand scheme of things.

We hope you find a nice, dark spot to view this month. Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, in southern Idaho, is one of the best spots in the state for these types of events.

To achieve the most optimal sighting of the Orionids, you'll want to view from the darkest possible area, away from the city lights.

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.
