Can we get some more precise details on the "when"? I'm on the West Coast, and I have a feeling "morning hours" means something different to me than it does to NASA.
- sp332 15y agoSince the earth is rotating as the orbits of the earth and the Orionids are crossing, every place on earth will see them in the same angle relative to the sun, not relative to a point on earth. So as your part of the earth turns into the right place, you will see them.

- infinity 15y agoI have posted another link in a comment, where you can find a list of locations. Pick the location, which is nearest to you, and you will find a time interval. I hope that the displayed information is accurate, but to predict the peek of the meteor shower seems to be difficult.
