Geminids Meteor Shower

Its that time of the year again,Christmas,New Year and holidays are topped with another reason to cheer.


The Geminids Meteor Shower which is the most beautiful multi-coloured meteor shower to have been noticed by the naked eye, will produce 60 multi-coloured shooting stars per hour at its peak,which will take place tommorow midnight, 13th of December 2011, around the constelattion of Gemini (shown below)
If you have problem finding it, look for Orion's belt, which is the three stars which appear to be on a straight line, and from there look on the left where the Gemini Constellation would be.


There would be plenty of this meteor passing by, all you got to do is look at the right part of the night sky and would be really helpful if you are away from a polluted night sky.

Have fun watching the meteor shower,and yeah,dont forget to make a wish!
