watch the geminid meteor shower

I wanted to repeat the spectacular experience from 2004 —when I watched the silvery-blue, rapid meteors across the sky for the first time—, but clouds obstructed the view this past December.

We’ll see what meteor showers 2008 will bring us —Seattle clouds permitting, of course.

The 2007 Geminid Meteor Shower is forecasted to be a big show —even better than this year’s very famous Perseid and Leonid ones, especially for those of us who had less-than-perfect viewing conditions.

The peak is Dec 14 at 16:45UT.

Check for local conditions here and select #4 Geminid, your city, your point of view, and the night of Dec. 13-14.

Clear skies!
