Geminid Meteor Shower

[zr2chevy22]

For those of you that live out in the country with no lights, venture outside and look up. Tonight is the Geminid Meteor Shower. Supposed to be one to two meteors per minute and peak overnight Wednesday into Thursday morning.

I get up at 4:30 to get ready for work. I will venture out a little early and watch a while before heading out.

Just went outside and saw a handful of them. I'm going to try getting up later to when they pick up.

What time is it supposed to kick off. I'm working nights tonight. Inside on the computer doing hazwoper training right now. Gonna have to mosey out to a location with no lights and check it out.

Every time there has been mention of a shower I spend 30 min out side staring at the blackness and see nothin. It's like I'm bad luck, so I'll stay in the house and let you folks enjoy it.

Supposed to run all night until dawn. I was reading tonight is the peak time saw 2:30am but can't find that again. I work night's too but it SUCKS cause it's overcast here in my area.

Look towards Gemini as that's the area of highest probability. Chances are you WILL see one tonight if you go out and look in the right direction. If skies are clear you've got your best chance tonight.

Went out for about 5 minutes and saw 4. Most almost straight overhead.

This is the most active night of the year for meteor's. Have to look in the direction of the constellation Gemini.

I saw 20 or so between 10:15 and 11:00 when I was outside. Several good ones! I was wondering what the occasion was.
