X-37B found a hole in the clouds and went through it this afternoon.  Successful launch.

The Year in Space ....

A collection of awesome pictures. Number 26 is particularly incredible in its scope.

Skywatchers around the world are in for a treat tonight, as the annual Geminid meteor shower is poised to put on a spectacular show.The Geminids will peak overnight tonight (Dec. 13) with the moon at its new phase. The skies will thus be free of the moon's glare, allowing viewers in rural areas to see perhaps 100 or more meteors per hour, experts say.

It is supposed to be clear all day and all night.........hopefully, we will be able to see it well.  My problem is I have several very tall trees in my yard that makes it difficult to star gaze.

I have a friend who loves looking up, and especially loves meteor showers.  Although I haven't noticed any myself, she said she has already seen some the last few nights, even though the peak isn't until tonight. 

The problem we have here is that there's so much light pollution around.  It makes it difficult to see many of the smaller meteors even if the sky is clear.

Meteor shower peaks tonight.  Go out and look up if you're still awake.

I did. It's not a good night for viewing here. I can see a few stars, but there's not that sharp contrast you get on a cold clear night. Can't tell if it's thin clouds or hazy. Will try again in the morning -- I'm usually up at least an hour before daylight.

There may still be some around tonight HH.  Look after midnight and I'll bet you'll see some.
