GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: The Geminid meteor shower peaks this year on
Dec. 13th and 14th. Forecasters say meteor rates could exceed 100 per
hour for observers under dark rural skies. For best results, start
your meteor watch on Monday night, Dec. 13th, around midnight. Keep
an eye out for Geminids until sunrise on Tuesday, Dec. 14th. There's
no special trick to seeing the Geminids. Bundle up for maximum
warmth, go outside, lie down and look up. Geminids can appear in any
part of the sky, but all their tails will point back to the radiant in
the constellation Gemini. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates,
images and a sky map.
