Geminids Tonight

I saw about the same, much faster than the Persioids, that comet must have been going some when it broke up

Here's a real one

 

We popped out last night around 9.55pm and saw around eight in the space of fifteen minutes,but had to come in in the end as we were getting a tad cold and there was quiet a heavy frost on the lawn which looked good by torchlight but we were getting cheesed off with someone's security light that kept going on and off

Three weeks ago whilst we were out walking round a dark part of the village I saw a really good one streak across the sky but by the time I had told Mr K it had faded out.Was worth seeing though

 

Geminids; persioids; haemorrhoids .... all sound the same to me (and if that should be one of your haemorrhoids, God help you! ).

All I know is .. last nights sky was animated, awesome and wonder-full!

 

Remind me to give you a lesson in astronomical distances and Stella Cartography when I see you

 

@shiney if you stand in your garden with the saucepan(plough) slightly over your left shoulder in the sky which Mr Kandy says is about North East you should be lucky enough to see some,but will have to keep rotating your body with your feet in one place and then you can scan the skies

Having a very starry night will help rather than cloud as that will obscure the view of them.We went out just before ten but not sure if where you live will make any difference

 

Then you will be able to stand there forever Shiney and will be able to observe them throughout the winter months

 

Oh! That is such a pity.

I made a wish (or seven: one for each I saw ) and, even though it is bad luck to speak of my wish(es) suffice to say, special people on a certain website were given consideration

Gosh how I love the Dogs Trust forums

 

Saw another good one Tuesday night on our wander round the village admiring all the xmas lights but as usual Mr Kandy missed it
