Geminid Meteor Showers

Here is another kind of light. The best meteor shower of the year—the Geminids—will streak all night on December 13–14. Expect a count of 75 meteors per hour. Moonless conditions make viewing ideal.

Endnote: This information comes from the Old Farmer's Almanac. Viewing this natural wonder is a unique and meaningful way to greet the coldest season - many opportunities for reflection and giving thanks for our natural world and some of its immutable beauties. I'm posting this early so you can make a note of the dates now.
