What a nice night to watch a meteor shower here around Lawrence. Hardly needed a coat with this unseasonably warm temperatures (56°F).  The sky cleared up awhile before the moon rose.  I brought a chair outside.

For awhile I sat out under the stars watching for Geminid meteors. I saw several including one really bright one that streaked overhead.  The showers activity must be pretty high.  Soon the sky started to get a bit lighter as the moon came up, the clouds increased over me.  A little taste of the finest annual meteor shower. Very glad I spent some time outside watching.
