Wednesday, December 13th into the early morning of Thursday, December 14th the Geminid Meteor shower is to reach its peak!
"Most meteor showers are strongest just before the first light of dawn, because that's when your side of the Earth faces forward in the planet's rush along its orbit, so your side plows through meteor debris streams head-on. "
Another bit of information:
"Geminids are slower and more graceful than most shower meteors, which generally make swift streaks through the sky.
Geminids plunge into Earth's atmosphere at about 79,200 mph (127,500 km/h). Compare that to 133,200 mph (214,400 km/h) for the Perseids; 147,600 mph (237,500 km/h) for the Orionids; and 162,000 mph (260,700 km/h) for the Leonids. The Geminids' slower speed is partly because Earth doesn't hit the stream particles head-on — they come sideways into Earth's orbit — and partly because the particles themselves follow a relatively slow orbit around the sun. "
It should be a good show for everyone given clear night skies :) Be on the lookout!
