According to the Qatar Calendar House, the Orionid meteor shower this year will be visible to residents of the State of Qatar. It will peak on the evening of Tuesday, Rabi' al-Thani 29, 1447 AH, or October 21, 2025 AD, and last until daybreak on Wednesday, October 22.
The Orionid meteor shower, a significant celestial event, occurs each year from October 2 to November 2, reaching its peak on October 21.
According to meteorologists that specialize in meteor observation, the Orionid meteor shower is a unique meteor shower that peaks at an estimated rate of roughly 30 meteors per hour.
The only prerequisite for viewing meteor showers is a place that is remote from light and environmental contamination. Thus, the Orionid meteor shower will be visible to citizens of the State of Qatar without the use of telescopes or other astronomy equipment.
The Orionid meteor shower will be visible to the naked eye toward the eastern horizon from after 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday until dawn on Wednesday. Photography enthusiasts can capture the event using modern digital cameras by extending the exposure time to achieve clearer and more striking images.
