Geminid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight

[Go Vols]

Look up anytime between midnight and sunrise in your local timezone to get a glimpse of the Geminids. Beautiful yellowish streaks will light up the sky, with as many as 160 meteors per hour expected to shine during peak hours, usually between 2 and 3 a.m. Many meteors will appear to originate from the constellation Gemini, though they should be visible all over the sky. If Wirtanen contributes to the shower, up to 30 meteors per hour could come from the constellation Pisces.

1. Solar flares worry me

Makes me want to get a generator. They could take out the grid. Like the carrington flare of the late 1800's.

I wont be able to look up until about May, when the ever present gray overcast around here lately should lift.
