A Geminid from Gemini (1998)
Space Weather News for Dec. 13, 2003
The 2003 Geminid Meteor Shower
The annual Geminid meteor shower is underway, and forecasters expect it to
peak this weekend on Dec. 13th and 14th. Bright moonlight will diminish
the show, somewhat, but plenty of shooting stars should be visible anyway.
Go outside on Saturday night around 9:30 p.m. local time and watch the sky
until midnight or so. During those hours the moon won't be too high or
glaring, and you could see dozens of meteors.
And if that doesn't work... visit Spaceweather.com and listen to echos of
the Geminids using our live audio links to meteor radars in Texas and New
Mexico.
