The annual Geminid meteor shower is underway.
The shower peaks before dawn Saturday. It will offer a shooting star every few minutes, at least, plus a lengthy peak that could provide as many as one or two shooting stars each minute for observers in North America with dark skies.
Skywatchers in Europe, Asia and Australia should see a slightly less dramatic display in the pre-dawn hours of Dec. 14, with rates likely to approach one meteor per minute.
The Geminids typically produce a broad peak. So while experts say the maximum will come between 4 a.m. EST (0900-1000 Universal Time) and daybreak on Saturday, rates should pick up nicely after the Moon sets at around 2 a.m. local time.
As many as two meteors per minute might be visible during the peak, astronomers say, with brief outbursts that could produce higher rates.

with all the time it takes them to get
anywhere, it seems they would take showers more often.

BAD



Sounds cool, though I don't know if I'll be able to get far enough away from the city lights to REALLY see them.

Wow! The wonders of nature!
