Geminid Meteor Shower

Friday, December 14th, 2007

This moment, Friday December 14th at noon, is the peak of the Geminid meteor shower. Despite some clouds I watched the sky for about one hour around midnight on Thursday night (13th). From my observatory I do not have the best skies or  unobstructed horizons but I was surprised at the rate I was seeing.  Over the sixty minutes of observing time I saw over 90 meteors. Wow. I bet the show was great by morning, unfortunately I was clouded over.
