Orionid Meteor Shower Brings Some Pretty Spectacular Photos

The annual Orionid meteor shower peaked last night, and camera-packing skywatchers got some pretty great photos -- just scroll down for a look.



If you'd like to take photos of your own, you'll have another chance. Astronomers say more shooting stars are on the way tonight -- and perhaps for the next several days.





Photo of the Orionids taken by BG Boyd at 5 a.m. on Oct. 21, 2014 in Saguaro National Park East in Tucson, Ariz., and shared with The Huffington Post.

It took luck, patience, and many failed attempts to capture one #Orionid meteor near Topeka at 4:58am on 10/21/14. pic.twitter.com/rO1OSd4TUf
