Geminid Meteor Shower Tonight

Postby oregontocal » Mon Dec 14, 2009 10:23 pm

The meteors are supposed to start being visible here in Yuma, AZ around 10:00 tonight and last pretty much all night. There's a new moon so no light from the moon to worry about. Jenny, Beth, and I are going to drive out away from the city lights later on tonight and see what we can see. I've never been disappointed with the Geminids.

Well I for one was really looking forward to this tonight, but............ It's cloudy and rainy so that takes care of that. :( :cry: :x

No meteor shower gazing for me tonight! There is a -35 below windchill out there right now. Can't even look out the windows because they are all frosted over! I hate winter! Wish I could see the shower tho. How awesome! It would be worth staying up late for if it weren't so dang horribly cold out here! Brrrrr!!!

I'm embarrassed. Jenny, Beth, and I made arrangements to drive out to where it's a little darker at 10:00 tonight. Since it was only 8:30 when we returned from checking out al the Christmas lights here, I took my glasses off, turned out the light (I'm boondocking, after all), and closed my eyes "for just a little while." I just woke up a few minutes ago. Must have been the really long walk I took earlier this afternoon and all the fresh air. Only stars I saw were in my dreams.

You and Sparkle both. Jenny and I were out there - didn't really see anything though.

Spanky, er, I mean Sparkle, you're not going to take that lying down, are you? Don't let her get away with it.
