Meteor Shower Tonight!
My telescope is in storage. But I don’t really know how to use it anyway. If anyone can help, let me know. They say you only need your eyes to enjoy a good meteor shower though.
Tonight’s Geminid meteor shower is one of the year’s two biggest and it could bring 100 shooting stars per hour.
We may actually see two meteor showers, the second spawned by the comet Wirtanen. If the second shower does occur, it could produce 30 meteors per hour.
It would be visible in the early evening, while the Geminids will come later and stick around until dawn.
To get a good view, you’ll want to watch the sky for a while: It takes about 20 minutes for the eye to adjust to the night sky.
