I’m glad you saw a meteor. It was not part of the Geminids meteor shower. Just remember that all meteors we observe don’t have to be associated with a specific meteor shower.

Any thoughts on the matter? Also, I am finding it extremely helpful when you post " how to find"visual aids using easier to find constellations.( ie... using Orion as an aid to find Gemini and/or The Unicorn) This is my request for more of those. I became hopelessly addicted after viewing the Perseids this year. You have my thanks for this site & all your hard work.

Headed down to Joshua Tree and the skies could not have been any clearer. What a great way to top the year off. It was a refreshing 31 degrees so we had to keep moving to stay warm but still pretty amazing Meteor shower was amazing. Headed down to Joshua Tree and the skies could not have been any clearer.

If the meteor shower is a third as strong as the morning of the 14th then yes I think you will see some. The shower has been really active this year and will remain active until December 17th. I was out for an hour and a half and saw more meteors than I have seen all year. Finally the weather and the moon was cooperative for me. I think you can see that I'm ecstatic about this one, or maybe it's all the coffee I bought, (I really did by the way) Thank you and happy holidays! - Meteor Mark oh wait, how could I forget, KEEP YOUR HEAD UP! :) Meteor Mom,
