Dan's Starry Skies by Dan Caton
Latest Update: December 13, 2011
Radiant point shown in red for where meteors will streak from tonight.
The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight (12/13-14/11 Tues-Wed), with perhaps a few dozen meteors per hour. The nearly full moon will interfere quite a bit but it will be worth taking a look tonight, late evening. The red dot at left shows the radiant point with respect to Gemini--this would be about at the top-middle of the map of the sky for 11:30, shown below for context. It may be possible to see 10-20 meteors per hour for the next couple of nights.
The bright moon will interfere with the meteor shower.
