Here's your chance to see one of the best-known and most reliable meteor showers of the year.
你即将有机会看到一年中最知名和最容易见到的流星雨。
The Orionids meteor shower starts on the 2nd of October and peaks during the night of the 22nd of October between midnight and dawn.
猎户座流星雨从 10 月 2 日开始出现，达到极大的时间段是 10 月 22 日晚上的午夜和凌晨之间。
The fragments are actually pieces of Halley's Comet, which only swings by the Earth once every 75 years.
构成这些流星雨的碎片其实来自哈雷彗星，这颗彗星每 75 年飞经地球一次。
As the comet follows its path around the Sun, it leaves a trail of tiny debris.
当彗星沿着环绕太阳的轨道运行时，它会在沿途留下微小的碎片。
This debris enters our atmosphere every year at rapid speeds and vaporises from friction with the surrounding air, causing streaks of light, which we call meteors.
这些碎片每年都会以极高的速度进入我们行星的大气层，然后与周围的空气发生摩擦并汽化，从而形成我们称之为 “流星” 的光条。
To see them, look up towards the constellation Orion in a space that's away from as much light pollution as possible.
想要看到这些流星你需要抬头看向猎户座星座的方向，并且找一个尽可能远离光污染的地方。
