The Orionid meteor shower will peak again tonight.

According to NASA, the Orionids peak in mid-October every year. The Orionid meteors come from one of the most famous comets, Halley, which is currently near the middle of its 76-year orbit around the sun. Halley’s Comet won’t make its appearance until 2061, it leaves a trail of debris behind that our planet passes through every year, resulting in the Orionids.

Orionid meteors are extremely fast, plummeting into the Earth’s atmosphere at about 66 kilometres per second. Because they move so quickly, these meteors can sometimes leave light trails in the sky while others produce bright fireballs.

Look up in the sky after midnight for the best view.

Kohler has debuted a new toilet camera that watches you go, then uses an algorithm to analyze the results and track your health.

It’s called Dekoda – a play on the word “decode and costs $600. It fits on the side of most toilet bowls and uses optical sensors to scan your waste. Then it sends the stats to your phone.

You sign in on a fingerprint scanner, so it knows whose waste it’s scanning. It can tell you whether you’re dehydrated, and what percentage of your sessions are regular each week. It also looks for signs of any blood.

They say there’s no chance any of your privates showing up on camera. “Dekoda’s sensors see down into your toilet and nowhere else.”

On top of the $600, there’s also an annual subscription fee of $70 a year if it’s just you, or $130 for the family plan. They’re on sale now at KohlerHealth.com. The first orders start shipping today.
