How To See This Weekend’s Meteor Shower

Looking for something to do this weekend that won't cost you a dollar?  Stay up late Friday night and check out the stars.  I'm not trying to be a cheeseball, but this weekend is the Orionid meteor shower and it peaks on Friday and Saturday mornings.

If we don't get too many clouds this weekend, you should have a pretty good view. 

According to Dan Malerbo  from the Pittsburg Post-Gazette you'll have the most luck seeing meteors looking to the east before the moon rises at 1:30 a.m.
