The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.

The second Monday of October honors the Native peoples of the Americas - the first peoples of this land, and their histories, cultures and nations, which continue today.

The federal holiday on that day is officially Columbus Day; many states, cities and tribal nations keep it as Indigenous Peoples' Day instead, and a president first proclaimed it in 2021.
