We know it's a school night, but we're willing to stay up late for this spectacular viewing of the Orionid Meteor shower. If the sky is clear, join us away from the city lights, or mark your calendar and view them from home if you get a chance. This is one of the best meteor showers of the year and never seems to disappoint observers.

This meteor shower gets the name "Geminids" because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini. An observer in the Northern Hemisphere can start seeing Geminid meteors as early as December 6, when one meteor every hour or so could be visible. During the next week, rates increase until a peak of 50-80 meteors per hour is attained on the night of December 13/14. The last Geminids are seen on December 18, when an observer might see a rate of one every hour or so.

      Thanks so much for the update on your website. Up in Philly, I did see a couple of "star shooters" on the 13th but two brilliant meteors, one a bright orange falling through the northern sky and the other, a radiant green and white meteor in the northewest sky. Thanks so much for the online tip and the opportunity to view these brilliant, heavenly "stars". Collapse
