Ali Jarekji—Reuters  by [Justin Worland](https://time.com/author/justin-worland/)  ## Justin Worland Senior Correspondent Oct 21, 2014 6:52 PM UTC The Orionid Meteor Shower, a spectacle that occurs each year as the earth moves through debris left behind by a comet, gave skywatchers quite a show Tuesday night. “Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Halley’s Comet, the source of the Orionids,” [said Bill Cooke of NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office](http://www.nasa.gov/watchtheskies/orionid-meteor-shower-oct2014.html#.VEae2ovF-GY) in a press release before the event. “Bits of comet dust hitting the atmosphere should give us a couple dozen of meteors per hour.” While this shower may not be the strongest of the year, the position of nearby stars makes it one of the best to watch, Cooke added. The show was livestreamed from the [Slooh Community Observatory](slooh.com) beginning at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT, hosted by expert astronomer Bob Berman. Miss the event?
