It's set to peak around mid October.
Stargazers are in for a treat for the next month, as the The Orionid meteor shower begins lighting up the night sky.
According to NASA, the spectacular event begins tonight (October 2nd) and will run right through to the 7th of November.
However it is expected to peak around the 21st of October, when up to 15 meteors an hour may be visible.
The Orionids occur every time Halley's Comet returns to the inner solar system and sheds its nucleus of 'ice and rocky dust into space'.
In a blog post, NASA offered some tips on trying to watch the shower.
It said: "The Orionids are viewable in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres during the hours after midnight
"Find an area well away from city or street lights. Come prepared with a sleeping bag, blanket or lawn chair.
"Lie flat on your back with your feet facing southeast if you are in the Northern Hemisphere or northeast if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, and look up, taking in as much of the sky as possible.
"In less than 30 minutes in the dark, your eyes will adapt and you will begin to see meteors.
"Be patient -- the show will last until dawn, so you have plenty of time to catch a glimpse."
