Was October 23, 2026 a good day for a meteor shower in Columbus?
NO
No — the Orionids peaked on 21–22 October, and a 94%-lit waxing gibbous moon will drown out most meteors.
Why
- Orionids peak was 21–22 October 2026
- Moon 94% illuminated, full on 25 October
- Bright moonlight hides all but the brightest meteors
