Title: Check out the Meteor shower tonight.
Post by: lovebus (jack) on December 13, 2012, 08:56:59 am
The Geminids meteor shower is the richest shower of the year and along with the much lesser Ursids nicely rounds off the meteor observing season for 2012. With normal limits of Dec 8-17, the maximum is predicted for the 7pm on the night of 13/14 December. The Moon, amazingly, is new on 13 December, leaving observers free of the all too often blight of moonlight drowning out the fainter meteors.

I was up at midnight. I saw it was 32 degrees outside. That's when I said "No way, I'll wait for Jack to put it on the forum". #@rofl3
