GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: Scientists at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center
have established a radio meteor detection system to monitor this week's
Geminid meteor shower. Although the shower doesn't peak until December
13th, plenty of Geminid meteoroids are already streaking through Earth's
atmosphere. You can listen to their eerie-sounding radio echoes in
realtime at http://www.spaceweather.com.
SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS: The glare from this week's nearly-full Moon will
substantially reduce the number of visible Geminid meteors. Nevertheless,
sky watchers in rural areas will likely spot 20 or more shooting stars per
hour -- a fairly pleasing shower. We invite photographers who capture
images of Geminid meteors to submit their photos for display on
spaceweather.com. Simply send your files as email attachments to
webmaster@spaceweather.com.
