The Geminid meteor shower between10pm-12am

I myself am very much looking forward to this as i had my first date with my boyfriend watchin Perseids on the 12th of august and have had the best relationship since =D

A clear sky on Monday night will offer the best viewing of one of the year's busiest meteor showers.

The Geminid meteor shower produces as many as 120 shooting stars an hour, or an average of two a minute, visible under a dark sky.

just informing the few lovers who havent already heard! Enjoy

Just a reminder if you didn't catch them last night because of the cloud cover there is another chance tonight.

Nice one mate I'll be out having a look. :cool:

Hope the cloud has gone by then...

How long does this shower actually last then?

I see this was originally posted on the 10th, but you say there is another chance tonight?

Either way I'll keep an eye out

Yeah you can see them tonight and possibly tomorrow I think. Saw quite a few last night and no matter how many I see they never seem to be less fantastic.

Mik3 · 14 Dec 2010 at 20:55

I seen loads last night, 3 in under 1 minute.

Redman · 14 Dec 2010 at 21:04

Same time, same place?

Serious question, I have little idea

They can be seen from the 7th to 17th but were at their peak last night (13/14) and will still be very good tonight.

We're more likely to see a shower of snow than a shower of meteors.

Cosimo · 14 Dec 2010 at 23:00

It's clear here and I've seen a few. Will pop out later on.

Saw 5 in a few minutes. Sometimes random smoking can be handy

GWillow · 15 Dec 2010 at 03:45

Just been outside for a while (freezing my bits off) and saw a dozen or so, mostly fairly faint but saw a couple of really bright ones.
