Anyone else watching the Geminid Meteor Shower?

Question

Kinda sucks that its cloudy here. But its supposed to clear up later into the night. And I've already seen one in my first 5 minutes of watching, and that was through a mostly cloudy sky :)

Answer 1

The Geminid meteor shower peak has past us now but it is not over yet! You can still see some best if you get away from the city lights to a darker sky location. If you stay in the city you will only be able to see the bigger and brighter ones. Meteor showers last for days and when the experts talk about the expected peak that doesnt mean that it is done and over. Go out and look up. Be patient. They are usually measured in meteors per hour and this one is expected to be pretty active.

Answer 2

It's mostly cloudy and a lot of snow and ice out (there goes laying down to watch the show). I'm about to go back outside before setting my alarm and going to bed, just in case it started to clear up.

Answer 3

I have been out a bit but so far I've seen zero. It's bitter cold up here in Duluth, MN, but at least that guarantees clear weather...

Answer 4

We observed some... there have been some that appeared like all of them started under the horizon, and fell *up*. yet, it replaced into too chilly to stay outdoors very long. (i'm in California, and it got down to under 70 ranges!)

Answer 5

Same problem here too..very cloudy skies.. Good to know you watched atleast one. I was not that lucky.

Answer 6
