Be sure to check out the meteor shower tonight!

[Black1]

All you southern folks should have good enough skies to see the peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower this evening. Step outside and check it out! There should be over 100 meteors per hour burning up in our atmosphere. It going to be located around the Gemini constellation (hence the name).

Just went out and saw a couple. Going to go back out around 10:00PM to catch some more. Hopefully it will be a little more active.

The egg-heads are saying "the later the better".... so about 1am-3am should be fairly spectacular.

Yeah I read that online but there is no way I'm going to be out there that late and with it being as cold as it's going to get tonight. I'm going back out in a few minutes to see if activity has picked up any. Might try to get some video too.

Man they go by so fast you'd never get a picture. They don't call them shooting stars for nothing. If you blink, you'll miss it. I've caught a couple. I may try to go out a little later when there's more activity to see if the video camera can pick up anything. I'm freezing my "you know what's" off standing out there looking skyward.

 

[viperhauler]

so....where do i look?

 

[TNVIPER]

I went outside to look and the boogers in my nose froze...heck, Im going to bed.....:beerglass:

Just find the big dipper and watch in that general vicinity. When it happens, you'll see it.

Your already past my expertise. I have no idea where Orion's Belt is. Maybe this will help.
