Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

And it's raining like crazy where I live. The moon is supposed to be a problem this year as well, but that's a moot point for me. These meteors are typically brighter and longer lasting than the Perseids or Leonids. You might catch one any night this week. Take a look. There's few things cooler than seeing a long bright streak of a meteor shoot across the night sky.

Moonlight may well be a problem but worth the effort if you catch it.

Thanks for the "Heads Up" Gertie, and the great link, cchris. According to the chart, The best time for me here will be in about another 90 mins or so.

Hopefully, the clouds that dumped the snow and rain on me today will have parted!

Still raining and snowing here

gonadman · 12-14-2003, 03:27 PM

Overcast here too, but I'll still poke my head out and check it out.
