METEOR SHOWERS ARE LIKE NATURE’S FIREWORKS; THIS WEEK’S GEMINIDS METEOR SHOWER COULD# PRODUCE HUNDREDS OF METEORS EVERY HOUR!
HIT THE DARKNESS AND LOOK EAST ALL# WEEK AFTER NINE PM - YOU SHOULD SEE THREE LIGHTS MAKING A SMILE - THAT’S# CASTOR, POLLUX - MARKING THE TWINS OF GEMINI - PLUS JUPITER!
THEY’RE POLITELY# LINED UP SHOWING YOU RIGHT WHERE TO LOOK!
IF CONDITIONS ARE GOOD YOU SHOULD# START SEEING METEORS!
THE GEMINIDS ARE MEDIUM-SPEED METEORS AND CAN EVEN PRODUCE# COLORFUL TRAILS.
IT’S A GREAT SHOWER FOR KIDS.
GEMINIDS USUALLY PUT ON A GOOD SHOW# FOR SEVERAL NIGHTS BEFORE AND AFTER THE PEAK.
PLUS, THE MOON WILL RISE LATER# AS THE WEEK PROGRESSES, SO KEEP TRYING!
A METEOR SHOWER OCCURS WHENEVER# OUR EARTH RIDES DIRECTLY INTO A STREAM OF SPACE DEBRIS LEFT BEHIND# BY A COMET.
IN THIS CASE, UNUSUALLY, IT’S CAUSED BY ASTEROID ‘ROCK# COMET’ NAMED PHAETON 3200.
