Lightbulb Geminids meteor shower tomorrow night

Space Weather News for Dec. 12, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

GEMINID METEOR SHOWER: The Geminid meteor shower peaks this year on Dec. 13th
and 14th. Forecasters say meteor rates could exceed 100 per hour for observers
under dark rural skies. For best results, start your meteor watch on Monday
night, Dec. 13th, around midnight. Keep an eye out for Geminids until sunrise
on Tuesday, Dec. 14th. There's no special trick to seeing the Geminids. Bundle
up for maximum warmth, go outside, lie down and look up. Geminids can appear in
any part of the sky, but all their tails will point back to the radiant in the
constellation Gemini. Check http://spaceweather.com for updates, images and a
sky map.

SPIRAL ASTEROID: Put this in the "weird" category. Main belt asteroid (596)
Scheila has suddenly developed an apparently spiral-shaped tail. The surprising
structure might be a result of a recent asteroid-asteroid collision, or perhaps
a sign that this asteroid is really a comet. An image of Scheila is featured on
today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

I must have seen one of these last night. I have no bedroom curtains (still haven't found the right pair!) so I often see things in the sky and last night I saw something on fire. I looked away for a second and it must have burnt out. It was pretty cool.

I'll never forget my experience seeing a speck of dust coming as a meteor...it was like a silent green firework with a long tail carreening past me as i was walking on the street and curving around the corner, as though it decided to go that way on its own.
