Keep an eye on the skies-the Geminid Meteor Shower peaks the night of the 13^th and 14th.  Here in the Wenatchee Valley, we’ll need the skies to clear, but those with good visibility are in for a treat.

“Observers with clear skies could see as many as 40 Geminids per hour,” predicts Bill Cooke of the NASA Meteoroid Environment Office.  “Our all-sky network of meteor cameras has captured several early Geminid fireballs.  They were so bright, we could see them despite the moonlight.”
