barkis Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Friday and Saturday will see the Geminid Meteor Shower return to our Skies Perhaps with clear skies, this event will prove a rich show, which in past years they have proved to be. I removed a video link on the Geminids from this post, as it was plagued with puerile adverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floater Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yes, the adverts were/are annoying. Nevertheless, I clicked the link before you had killed it and had to smile at the line ‘clouds may obscure the view’. Well ain’t that the truth ...

DaveS Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Seen a couple of Gemminids tonight already. May have another look later, but need to turn in early for a quick start tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavStar Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 I was at our monthly astro club meeting this evening and the meteors were zapping across the sky quite regularly. Nice to see this time night since I haven’t had much success with these showers over the last few years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheresthetorch? Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Got back from works Christmas do, and stopped in the front garden to see what was 'up' - only looked for about 30 secs when a Geminid crossed the sky in front of me. Went to bed satisfied with just the one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chaz2b Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I would be satisfied with just one as well.......if only! Clouds in abundance here. chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
