Orionid Meteor Shower — Sky-View Radiant Map

A 2D sky-dome view of the October Orionid shower: meteors streak outward from a radiant fixed near Orion, with real rate-vs-altitude and light-pollution behaviour.

A simplified planisphere view of the same October shower: Halley-comet dust enters at ~66 km/s from a radiant fixed near Orion, and this dome shows how that radiant's altitude — and therefore the visible meteor rate — rises and falls with the observer's clock, independent of the full 3D orbital picture.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D sky-dome view of the October Orionid shower, where meteors streak outward from a radiant fixed near Orion as its altitude rises and sets through the night.
