Tonight marks the peak of the Orionid meteor shower, bringing the opportunity to catch a glimpse of bright fireballs streaking through the sky.

The annual Orionid shower typically produces 10 to 20 meteors every hour, though visibility may be low this year because of the waning moon.

The best time to see the meteors will begin at around 11 p.m. Sunday night and will last into Monday. The display will be visible everywhere in the world except Antarctica, according to CNN.
