Title: The sky is falling
Post by: shawn on December 13, 2004, 03:17:39 PM
Planning on playing a round of glow tonight at 7.  Might see some of the show.  

On Monday night the 13th from sunset to dawn Tuesday we'll see the Geminid asteroid meteor shower which should be very good because there'll be no bright moon light to wipe out the faintest meteors. After dark face east where you'll see Orion and the two brightest stars of Gemini and Saturn and if you're far from city lights you may see 40 to 50 meteors per hour. At midnight Gemini will be overhead and at dawn in the west. Unlike all other meteor showers, which occur whenever our Earth rides into space rivers of comet debris the Geminid meteor shower occurs every December when we ride into the debris of an asteroid named 3200 Phaethon. So happy asteroid showering, and Keep Looking Up!

Did you go play, Shawn?
Were you able to see anything? I was looking around but didn't see anything. I think the lights in my parking lot were too bright.

Shawn, Dave, and I played last night.  We saw a few but it  clouded up by hole 6 and I know that I didn't see anymore.
