Dec. 13 is probably the peak, but they'd also appear on the 14th.<BR/><BR/>Now, NASA tells a little different story: http://science.nasa.gov/newhome/headlines/ast04dec98_1.htm<BR/><BR/>They say the Geminids can be seen anytime after 10 p.m. local time on Dec. 13, but the peak will be between 2 a.m. and dawn the next morning (the 14th). So you could start watching at 10 p.m. on the 13th and just stay right up till dawn! <BR/><BR/>It also says the moon will be in its waning crescent phase, which means there won't be much, if any, moonlight to interfere with seeing the Geminids.<BR/><BR/>Hope you and your boyfriend enjoy the show!Elizabeth Delisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08546970429755060529noreply@blogger.com
