I would have to say that the gemminids are well worth the effort to watch
even on a school night the source for this stream (asteroid-commet) passed
in 1997 so the numbers might be up and also the gemminids are slowwer that
many of the other major showers and in my opinion this enhances the beuty of
the show.
