Pissing rain tonight in Metro Vancouver ARRRGGH

I'll never forget witnessing the Leonid Meteor Shower PEAK in November 2001 on the west coast of Vancouver Island on the beach, new moon, no light distortion, sky full of stars to the horizon and meteors peaking at SEVERAL HUNDREDS PER MINUTE! - Full-on sparkly trails like out of a special effects movie. The most amazing celestial display I've ever seen in my life.

If you have clear sky tonight GO OUTSIDE and LOOK!

Plan to after the hockey game - hopefully it will still be clear here - cleared up nicely after the rain last night, so I hope so.

Broke out my LL Bean wool coat and snow boots so I should be set here in Georgia, lol.

THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: International observers are counting as many as 50 meteors per hour as Earth plunges into a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon. Rates could double, or more, when the shower peaks on Dec. 13th and 14th. The best time to look is during the dark hours before dawn on Thursday and Friday

[link to www.spaceweather.com]

There is also another new meteor shower happening too!
[link to science.nasa.gov]


Put on some layers to keep warm
Make some Cocoa, Make some Coffee... drink some whiskey... whatever you want to stay warm...

But go out tonight (or right now if its dark out) and witness a spectacle!

The Peak of this shower is tonight!!

And its gonna be a show!!

Last night was pretty impressive!

I'm excited to see what tonight brings! Should be way better!

Look North to East... You should see em whiz through the sky

Anytime after dark... as the night drags on... they should increase.

Leave the dumb phone, the TV the computer and watch the fireballs stream across the sky...

Make some wishes while you are at it...

I know I got half a dozen i'm gonna mumble tonight!

Happy Geminid's Everyone!

I'm in NC and am barely seeing 2 every 30 mins. My neck is killing me, having to crane it nearly all the way back to see Orion and Gemini. The ones I'm seeing are quick white flashes ... by the time I see one and focus in with my eyes, it's burning out already. But like I mentioned before, they seem so near height-wise.

Went out and had a lie down on a lake. No city lights and clear view in all directions. Saw like 1-2 per minute. But zero degrees fahrenheit doesn't fuck around...
