You could see around 10 to 15 #Geminid meteors per hour from a dark location this evening. The Moon only rises from around 02:00 UT so the evening sky will be nice and dark for meteor spotting. #Astronomy #GeminidsMeteorShower

Rates of #Geminids meteors are now increasing in the lead up to the peak. You could see around 5 to 10 per hour from a dark location this evening. The Moon only becomes an issue after midnight. #Astronomy #GeminidsMeteorShower

Activity for the #Geminids meteor shower begins today. The next few days sees activity in the range of 1-5 meteors per hour from a dark location. The bright Moon interferes initially, rising later each evening. #Astronomy #GeminidsMeteorShower #Space

Only a few days to go until the start of the #Geminids meteor shower. Many consider the Geminids to be the best shower of the year. Several dozen meteors per hour could be seen on the night of 13 to 14 December from a dark location. #Astronomy #GeminidsMeteorShower

Who is watching the #GeminidsMeteorShower this weekend?
#astronomy #weekendplans

The #geminidsmeteorshower peaks tomorrow night!

Some random photos of #GeminidsMeteorShower last night from 11:00 pm-1:30 am, shot near the Saguaro NP, Tucson, AZ. Clearly it was not the peak with a ZHR < 40-50 (roughly estimated).

I guess the meteor shower would be more spectacular for people in Asia. (UTC 19:00, Dec 14)

Not much chance of seeing tonights #geminidsmeteorshower #Geminids in #Swinford with all the cloud. Hopefully we get a clear spell #mayo

Its not looking great cloudwise to view tonight's #geminidsmeteorshower #Geminids in #Ireland Hopefully clear spells
