'What are the Geminid meteors? Scientists aren't sure. Perhaps chips off an exotic asteroid or dust from an extinct comet.' After last months Leonid Shower, I won't miss this one!" Since I slept through the Leonids, I hope I don't miss this one, too.

    A friend of mine got some VERY nice pictures of the leonids. I'll see if I can get them posted on a webserver some place. I love meteor showers, and in the winter the air is so still it's easy to see.
