      Don’t know if anyone is interested in astronomy or seeing meteor showers and what not, but the Geminid meteor shower (an annual meteor shower) is set to peak tonight. Anyone gonna try watch it? Personally i think i might but it depends if its cloudy or not of course. Never seen one before and would love to be able to 🙂

      More on it here;

        Awwww. Ive never seen a meteor shower.

        I probably won’t get a glimps though :(. Im normally in bed earlier than usual these days for work. Getting up at 5am is killer, and im a heavy sleeper lol. Hopefully ill see some iny back garden when I pop out for a smokey smoke.

          Nor have I man, theres atleast two annual ones though – the more well known one Perseid and this one. Could be others but i’m no astronomer so.. I think Chrispydellic is interested in this sort of stuff though.

          Me either it’s looking really cloudy outside! keep my fingers crossed though, let me know if you do see any though 🙂
          Me too.. reccently been having insomnia though it’s horrid.

            What time is it gonna happen? I only get “thursday evening” and not an approximate time. Don’t want to miss this as I love astronomy.

              In this instance my insomnia may be of benefit. May build a few zoots and keep my eyes peeled.

                From another article i read i THINK it was supposed to peak at approx 2 am – but you may have luck earlier, i think it reccomended at around midnight. I think it also said those in the north will have better luck as they’re predicted clear skies i believe but just keep your eyes peeled everyone!
                Psy, do you have any ways of keeping insomnia under control without drugs? I’ve had it crazy this past week and its really not good, i’ve had a few months without it and its just flared up again :/

                              I would normally be watching this but I am in a hotel in Bolton, visibility is pretty poor and I have to get up SUPER early tomorrow and then drive four hours.

                              I’ve missed them all this year, the Leonids, Persieds and now the Gemenids.

                              Never mind, there’s always next year and I’ll have a mega telescope to play with in the meantime.

                                What time of the year are the Leonids/Perseids showers?

                                Hmm i”m actually debating getting a telescope myself. Space is so interesting imo

                                Did anyone actually see it?
