Witness the wonder of the Orionid Meteor Shower. The Orionids are actually fragments of the famous and beloved Halley’s Comet, last visible in 1986 and next visible in 2061. Mark Twain was famously born when Halley’s Comet was visible in 1835 and declared that he would also go out with the comet as well, which proved to be true! Make a Maui wish for each piece of this magnificent comet you spot raining down in the night sky, while enjoying drinks, pupu, and more fun facts from Harriet about the celestial bodies we share this universe with.
Astronomer Harriet Witt is known for her entertaining and informative commentary on all things celestial and will highlight specific stars to observe and relate stories about their significance to the Hawaiian culture in juxtaposition with popularly known Greek cultural explanations.
