All sorts of crazy things have been suggested regarding 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object that we've discovered. Some are simply conspiracy theories about it being an alien spacecraft, while others have been well-thought-out ...
The Orionids—one of two major meteor showers caused by remnants from Halley's comet—will peak with the arrival of a new moon, providing an excellent opportunity to see shooting stars without interference from moonlight.
