: What could be the best meteor display of the
: year will reach its peak on the night of
: Dec.13-14.
:
: Here is what astronomers David Levy and
: Stephen Edberg have written of the annual
: Geminid Meteor Shower: "If you have not
: seen a mighty Geminid fireball arcing
: gracefully across an expanse of sky, then
: you have not seen a meteor."
:
: The Geminids get their name from the
: constellation of Gemini, the Twins, because
: the meteors appear to emanate from a spot in
: the sky near the bright star Castor in
: Gemini.
:
: Also in Gemini this month is the planet
: Mars, nearing a close approach to the Earth
: later this month, and shining brilliantly
: with yellow-orange hue.
:
: To be sure, Mars is certain to attract the
: attention of prospective Geminid watchers
: this upcoming week.
:
: Reliable shower
:
: The Geminid Meteors are usually the most
: satisfying of all the annual showers, even
: surpassing the famous Perseids of August.
