The Orionid meteor shower is visible throughout October, but it hits its peak on the nights of the 20th and 21st of October.  That's when it's possible to see between 15 and 30 meteors every hour.  Even if you don't catch it on those dates, the meteor shower continues until around November 7th.

 A 64-year-old hiker died at Big Bend National Park this week. Officials with the park say Kent Green was hiking on the Lost Mine Trail when he collapsed. Visitors tried performing CPR until emergency personnel arrived at the scene along with U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents, according to the release. However, park officials say efforts to resuscitate were not successful and Green died at the scene. "Big Bend National Park's staff wishes to send sincere condolences to the friends and family of the deceased, and thank all visitors who rendered assistance," the park said in a statement.
