For any of you interested out there, I just thought I’d give you a heads-up on some interesting astral activity this evening. Tonight the Geminid meteor shower is going to be the heaviest of the year, with an average of one or two meteors per minute. These bodies are slower moving and brighter than most, as well as being observable just about everywhere in the sky.The shower will last all night, but the heaviest of the shooting stars will come rocketing in at 80,000 mph between 10 p.m. and midnight. It’s best to observe them from the secluded dark of the countryside where you could see as many as 100 per hour, but should you be frightened of monsters and rapists those of us in the city might get a few peeks at the brightest ones.
Just thought I’d give you a “heads up.” Gods, what a terrible pun. Should you be interested in finding out more, your friendly, neighborhood reporter is here with the following links:Top 10 Geminid Viewing Tips
