Geminid Meteor Shower

Posted by michael on from the bring-an-umbrella dept.

zetes writes "Space.com has an article here about a meteor shower called the Geminids, which will occur Saturday night (December 13th). Around 9 PM 'from mid-northern latitutes' will be a great time to look - at about 10 PM the Moon will rise and spoil the show. Enjoy!"

    There is no surer predictor of bad weather in my home town than a cosmic event. With the exception of Halley's comet (not even this place could sustain cloud cover that long) and the occasional lunar eclipse, I've never managed to catch any event (including the Leonids and Perseids *every* *single* *year*).

    We had lovely clear skies until I read this posting.
