This year the Geminid meteor shower peaks on the 14th, but numbers will be high from December 13th through the 15th. If we get clear skies the viewing should include fainter meteors since the moon will not be overhead during the event, which means 60 to 100 visible per hour, or better than 1 a minute on average. If you haven’t enjoyed a meteor shower before, stop by Meteor Watch to learn the basics. The really short version of the basics are be comfortable (chair, appropriate clothing, munchies and drinks, etc.) and keep looking at the sky.
Most good sequels try to outdo the originals, and the Now You See Me franchise is no different. At least, now that they have a second film in the making, so they become a franchise rather than a single offering. I really like the first film in this series, and can’t wait to see how the new one does!
