So social media has informed me that this is occurring tonight, I shall be out whilst this is taking place, so may have to nip outside and see if it is visible. What will you be doing while this is taking place?

It will appear in the area of the constellation Orion, hence its name.

I think last night was a good clear one to view it well, even if we get potentially more to see tonight.

I've posted over the last few years whenever we get a major shower and we've mainly been really fortunate to see well.

NASA is saying to allow half an hour for your eyes to adjust to the dark and they could be visible up to November. I can't sit outside for that long, staring at the sky.

Can see Orion clearly enough in the northern skies, cloudy/misty to the south.

Yeah.

It's chilly.

I came inside for a hot water bottle and was then chatting to some random guy (nice tits, obvs) about Burning Man.

No shooting stars tho'. Got better shit to do.
