Geminid Meteor Shower TONIGHT

Ateo - 12-13-2014 at 10:58 AM

Tonight there's a meteor shower that can be viewed in Baja. Did anyone see that Atlas V rocket blast off last night? We were camping and saw an insane red light streak across the sky. The whole campground was hooting and hollering and making claims of alien spacecraft n stuff...........I tried to video it but it didn't show up.

The peak night of the 2014 Geminid meteor shower will probably occur on the night of December 13 (morning of December 14). The night before (December 12-13) may offer a decent sprinkling of meteors as well. Geminid meteors tend to be few and far between at early evening, but intensify in number as evening deepens into late night. A last quarter moon will rise around midnight, but Geminid meteors are bright!
