2011 Geminid Meteor Shower



"The Geminids are here, Despite the Bright Full Moon. I turn on my all sky video sky cameras last night, I captured several dozen in each of the cameras, the activity will only increase, so Dress warm and get out and view one of the better showers. Moonlight wipes out many fainter meteors, but there have been so many bright Geminids, and it's worth watching"

Fiumara said it was her first meteor shower during her 5 a.m. run. She said it seemed like there was one large shooting star per minute coming from all different directions.
