Zeeney   10 #1 Posted December 13, 2010 So tonight the Geminid shower is on tonight, with a view - in the right spot - of between 60-100 'shooting stars' an hour! I am trying to sort out a lift to get out to the country side to see it but who else is going? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
boston   10 #2 Posted December 13, 2010 Which direction should you look toward to see these? will it be possible to view from the city? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Zeeney   10 #3 Posted December 13, 2010 Look North Apparently you will be able to see the shower even with SOME city light so I guess that would depend on where you are! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Zeeney   10 #8 Posted December 13, 2010 I live near Waitrose on Ecclesall Road...not a chance of me seeing it I suppose :-(  I'm guessing not! Although we live just off abbeydale road on Nether Edge and we see the odd few - well we did in the last shower that was almost as big as this one - ...get on facebook and put on your status' that you need a lift! There's a lot of interest for it so you might end up getting one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

kegleigh   10 #10 Posted December 13, 2010 I've got a car to drive myself, but my OH doesn't finish work until 1am, so I think we'd have missed most of it by the time he finishes and we get out to the countryside Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
