Geminids meteor shower 2009!!!

I thought it be nice to give everyone a fair warning this time. ITs on the night of the 13th and 14th and is one of the most reliable showers of the year. Usualy coincides with a new moon, so if skies are clear, it will be great veiwing conditions. You can see then around sunset and anytime after, the best being around 10-12am eastern time. The further south you are the later you should venture out. It is also known for its multcoloured meteors. You should look for the constilation leo, in the eastern part of the sky. Id say if you live in the praries youd have a good view of it, just because of how empty and flat the land is, but as long as your in a dark patch of sky ( just outside of city limits, or in a large unlit park, or even better, if your lucky enough to have land in the country), youll see something decent. And for thoughs of us unfortunate enough to live anywhere north of texas the carolinas or california, you will need warm cloths, a chair and probably some soup or hor beverage to keep warm.

ENJOY!!

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no prob:D

Sorry let me correct that 12, 13,14th...

bummer
i might miss out on it

I would like to see some colorful meteors....LOL... or meteroetts...LOL... meteorites

I might see something on my drive to the Carolinas this weekend....LOL
but if flat lands is a prerequisite my view may be obstructed...

ahwwwww!

Geminid Blessings to you....

nooo i live right on the canadian sheild, definetly not very flat here, i can see lots.. you can just see more sky... and remember too, as long as its dark as hell, you can see lots...... and if your by change by the ocean, your supposed to look northeast... soo that might help as well.. not lots of light on the ocean!!! The trick to seeing the most out of any meteor shower is, go out fairly late for most ( 12 am or later), and make sure there isnt light around your for miles, but these are just for PRIMe veiwing conditions, your bound to see a few if you just look...

I will be wee-hours-of-the-morning driving, for sure
It's a 9 hour drive, ahwwww heck!
why does family move so far away sometimes... it's torture.... LOL

lol, thats ok, you should see something still, and cmon.. its the carolinas. lol

its been cold and cloudy here :S I hop eyou all enjoy the meteor shower for me lol

I saw at 2:00 A.M. Monday and it was awesome. Thanks for the tip buddy.
This time I dressed warm!

I glad you had the chance to see the Meteors in the night sky WhiteShaman, i bet is was a little cold but it must have been a sight to see.

Unfortunately it was cloudy here last night, hope to see the meteors in the sky in the future.

I have seen shooting stars before that is special each and every time i see then streaming through the sky

Reminds me of the Video you posted from Shindown (Second Chance) when he says: I JUST SAW HALEYS COMET SHOOTING

I personally have never saw Haleys Comet or any Meteor Streaming Through the sky, one day perhaps, I'm sure it will be something really special to see. Thanks guys

Many Blessings

here's a pretty link
Geminids LOOK
I was curious how they looked
so went searching
some are blue, or yellow, etc...

I thought I saw a shooting star on Friday after midnight
but it could have been other artifical light...
And I was indoors sleeping on the couch at 2am on Sunday/Monday
so I missed it all anyway...LOL

Now I know what to look for next time...

Great Link d-knots for the first time in quite a while i read everything on the linked page, i have some patience once again

I will try to remember for next year hope the sky's are clear and i bundle up warm enough to enjoy it

Many Blessings
