Meteor Shower Peaks This Week

11:05 PM Sun, Dec 11, 2005 |

 E-mail

The Geminid Meteor Shower will hits its peak this week, sending streaks of light across our northwest skies. But, because of a nearly full moon, there's one specific time that will be the best for seeing this annual shower.

Tuesday December 13th
4:30 a.m. to About 7 a.m.
Look West

The moon will be down at that point and the sky will be dark, other than city lights. For a gallery of Geminid Meteors, including cool shots from past years, check out this link:

Hope you get a chance to see some meteors this week!
