Re: Geminids - more 'fireballs'?

I was up at 5.45 this morning and while looking at Venus a meteor zipped by just above Venus. And that was quickly followed by a satellite! By the time I got my bins out the satellite had gone, but it was a great moment. Arcturus was looking very bright too. Is it really 30 times the size of our sun?
