Go, Go Gadget Geminids!

[akujunkan]

I've just returned from 45 minutes outside observing the Geminid meteor shower. I probably saw a good 30 or so meteors, all together, 15 of them faint or out of the corners of my eyes, and they other 15 or so beautifully large and bright. It's really supposed to pick up in another 45 minutes, so you can bet I'll be back out there for that.

It's the second coolest celestial event I've witnessed thus far, behind only the giant green fireball I saw descending over the lake last month.

That will be all.

ETA: Fifty-nine meteors and one fireball with trail from 1:00-2:00 am. Good stuff.

That sounds AWESOME (in the true, full-of-awe sense)! And your post title cracked me up :-)

everytime the news announces something like that happening, i think about attempting to watch it. sleep always wins.

sounds very beautiful.

It was pretty nice. Especially since every time the news announces something like this happening, it usually gets rained out! C'est la vie.
