Meteor Shower

"By 2 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, Gemini is directly overhead, and meteors will streak outward in all directions like spokes on a wheel, weather permitting.

Forecasters predict one or two shooting stars per minute during the peak hours."



Seasoned skywatchers offer these tips:

—Turn off all lights, indoors and out.

—Dress more warmly than you think necessary.

—Give your eyes 15 minutes to adjust to the darkness.

—Lie back on a lounge chair or blanket and scan as much of the sky as possible.

—Don't use binoculars or telescopes — meteors move too fast.

Read this link for more information. It sounds exciting to me. i will be watching some videos of it later online.

I will have to remember these tips. I am never lucky when it comes to seeing things like this when they happen.

The ironic thing is, after I posted all of this and got all the tips, I ended up forgetting to go outside and view the show. I got on this website the next day and saw my post and just slapped myself on the head. How could I forget?

That's too bad. Were you able to see any video or stills of it online?

The most interesting phenomenon I saw was a solar eclipse that created the strangest natural lighting effect I've ever seen. That would probably be about 15 years ago?

I actually went online and watched some amazing video of the entire show. It was really quite awesome and left me speechless. The wonders of the universe is breathtaking.
