Geminid Meteor Shower

[RoadKingLarry]

The Geminid meteor shower peaks overnight tonight. Already had a bit of a show early this morning. I saw 4 while out driving  on the job overnight. 3 in fairly rapid succession and one a little later. The 4th one lit up the inside of my van and left an after image on my eyes. All 4 of them were green flashes.

Saw one when going out for a late dinner around midnight. Bright and long enough of a streak to catch my attention even though I was looking away about 40 degrees.

I remember seeing the phenomenon that you call "stars" in the before-time. I also dimly recall something called the "moon" and the "sun", but that was long ago.

You working a 14-hour dayshift in a coal mine?

Or maybe a server room.   

Or he may live in one of those Freezing Wastelands of the North where it is overcast for months and months at a time and he never sees the sky.

Worse; I live in western Oregon.

It's not rain, it's liquid sunshine! 

Though I do miss the Willamette valley. I'd much rather have slate gray skies 80% of the time and some actual greenery than this high plains desert I'm trapped in.

I'm the exact opposite. But I grew up in the high plains desert.

Regolith was kind enough to send some of his water-vapor fluffiness over to where we live (CdA), so we, too, have to use our imagination.

Don't forget your umbrella!

Thanks for the heads-up!    Going to try to spy some tonight.

But it keeps the normals from seeing your diamond-sparkly skin...
