For those interested, we are nearing peak viewing of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Look skyward around midnight or so and you should be able to see these relatively slow moving meteors over the next week. You may see one every minute or so - be patient, they're coming. Plus with the new moon, viewing will better than most years. A telescope should not be necessary.
A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.
