Re: Geminids - more 'fireballs'?

Well I don't understand much of that post because I'm stupid =]


But I can tell you what I know!


The geminids should be having a meteor storm on the 7th December, but shouldn't fully peak until about the 12/14th December.

It should last an entire day so everyone should get a look if it's dark and clear =] Get your cameras pointing in that direction because up to 1 shooting star every 30 seconds could be seen =]

The brightness of the shooting stars varies because the moon is absent in the sky, and therefore there is less light in the sky, and therefore more chances of seeing them =]

Even though there is much more time before it is due, I have definatly seen an increase in shooting stars lately!!!

You should be able to see them mostly to the left of Orion... Erm... and it should be early morning for the most sightings. I am definatly hoping for a clear night as I have had the past few nights!
