from Old Farmer's Almanac (almanac.com) article on 2021 Meteor showers
Orionids | October 20–21, 2021
The Orionids are named after one of the most recognizable constellations in the sky, Orion,
from which these meteors appear to radiate.
Often featuring some of brightest and fastest streaking stars,
the Orionids appear in mid October and reach their peak in the hours
before dawn on October 21. Unfortunately, this year they will compete directly
with the full Hunter’s Moon, which will be at its brightest on the same night
as the Orionids (October 20–21).
