    We plan a backpacking trip around the perseids every summer. My sister and I are heading out with my best friend and her young kids today. It’s so cool watching them from the granite lake we’re heading to!!!

    The Geminids are now the best annual meteor shower for peak viewing. The parent comet of the Perseids passed through the inner solar system in the early 1990’s and the Perseids have been generally declining since. They are still good, and because they have a broad peak produce more meteors in total, and they sometimes are unexpectedly good. However… compared to the Geminids their peak is lower, at US latitudes to get a good show you have to be up well after midnight, and most of the meteors are not bright enough to show up against a badly light-polluted sky.
    The Geminids are in mid December, which is a better time of year to observe from places like Texas where it is hot hot hot in August even late at night. The Geminids are also visible at hours before most people are in bed, and they produce more bright meteors. A few years ago I saw about one Geminid per minute despite a full moon in Gemini right by the radiant. The Geminids in recent decades have been getting more and more active as the Perseids have been declining. The Geminids get less press coverage but for places like Texas are now clearly the better shower. You need to catch the Geminids near peak though. The Perseids are more forgiving that way.

      Hey CNNites.........Here's the latest from the "Curious Correspondent"....unlike CNN, I do my own investigations into what's really important in the big scheme of things....of which a meteor shower is moot.
      Are ya all aware that the "DEMOCRAT" DOJ HAS INTERFERED WITH THE "REPUBLICAN" JUSTICE COMMITTEE???? Regarding the Hunter Biden Investigation that's been going on for years now. Since the Republicans got ahold of it...all kind of new information and evidence has come forth. This is stuff that the DOJ and Democrat Justice Committee should have uncovered long ago, but they covered it up...claiming none of it was real.
      But...in lieu of what the Republicans are finding the DOJ is now hiring a "Special Counsel".
      Now This special counsel is simply a countermove to what the GOP has been uncovering on their side of the aisle.
      NOW...after months of revelation...the DOJ has been instructed, demanded and commanded to cover the Biden's a$$es: specifically Joe's. They will send Joe to the basement again...bringing him out for photo ops so that his Buddies can see he's still barely alive.
      This appointment; I read, will hamper the investigation by the Justice Committee...as it's intended to do. I don't know the guy who's been appointed, but I'm sure he's simply a figure head to stand in the gap between a Republican House and a Democrat President. His presence alone is enough to block the investigation into Hunter.
      Now...the GOP has to focus on Joe...they already have enough evidence to impeach; it's just a matter of pulling it all together into a cohesive presentation of facts.
      THIS IS NEWS TO CHEW ON!!!

    Dark skies REALLY help. In light-polluted suburbia you may not see any.
    Perseus needs to be up. If you are in the Northern US you can start seeing them at a reasonable hour. In the Southern US, basically the later the better, right up until sunrise, and you may get nothing at all before 11 PM.

    The current economic system contributes to instability, inflation, and poverty. A new Creative Society economic model is required, one that can guarantee everyone's stability, security, and a high standard of living. But unfortunately, whenever the leaders we depend on appear on TV to tell us not to panic that everything is under control, that is actually the time to fear the most! Saddening...

      Most of it would burn away before entering the atmosphere. By the time it lands it won't do much. There are videos of meteors hitting. It honestly looks like a bright flash of light and if you are close enough it sounds like a loud lightning strike. A meteor the size of a trailer home is about the size it would take to do serious damage.
