Geminids Meteor Shower - December 13, 2012

The Geminids meteor shower is the last of 2012 and it comes on the night of December 13.  The Moon will be New (i.e. at or near black / invisible) so viewing should be good if the weather cooperates.

You can get more information from Stardate from McDonald Observatory.

Meteor showers can range from interesting to spectacular and even a single falling star may be a sign from the Empire in the Stars.  It's all in what you make of it.  Maybe it's just a reason to get stoned or maybe it's a reason to make a wish.  Or maybe, as the ancients thought, it's a sign of things to come.

Good luck and I hope the weather is good for viewing where you are.

Καλή τύχη  (Good luck in Greek)

Note:  If you would like to know what the Greek language sounds like, you can use Google's Translate function.  It's quite flexible and gives the options to see and hear the translated words.  In the above example, you'll never get it without knowing the Greek alphabet but Google's Translate can do that for you.
