Intense Geminid Meteor Shower Peaks Sunday
« on: December 12, 2009, 23:32 »

Late Sunday night is the peak of the year's most prolific annual cosmic fireworks show—the Geminid meteor shower (Geminids picture).

The meteor shower has been growing in intensity in recent decades and should be an even better holiday treat than usual this year, since it's falling in a nearly moonless week.

it'll either be snowing here... or way to cold to bother going outside.

My phone widget says 20% chance of snow on Wednesday, and down to -8C over Thursday night.  :(
