Geminds Meteor (shooting stars) Shower tonight Dec 13 & 14

[finneyb]

Earth is passing through a stream of debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Forecasters expect as many as 120 meteors per hour when the shower peaks on Dec. 13-14.

Don't forget eyes take about 15 mins to adjust to the darkness.
Wrap up warm if outside.

Thanks
Was a bit too cloudy last night on the dog walk, maybe tonight will be better.
I always find it very satisfying to spot random meteorites on nights when they are not expected.
