Meteor Shower on Thursday

Meteor shower -- or two-- Thursday night


"The Geminids are one of the best performers among the meteor showers of the year," says Mark Hammergren, an astronomer at the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.

As many as 100 shooting stars an hour are possible.

The show should start just after sunset local time across North America and continue until dawn. "Meteors will appear in every part of the sky," says Alan MacRobert, a senior editor with Sky & Telescope magazine.




saw something shoot in the sky yesterday, so it made me curious if a shower was happening and found out about this. I'll be looking out.

I really need to befriend someone with a ranch or something out in West Texas. We drive out to see them sometimes, but its always hard to find a good spot. Spectacular and surreal when you get to go out to a really dark place.
