The annual Geminid Meteor Shower is set to peak on Dec. 13 and 14, 2012. The display, which is caused by an unusual ‘rock comet,’ could produce more than 100 meteors per hour during the dark hours before dawn this Thursday and Friday.

but it can’t affect the heart,no?
In the Cont. USA, which direction should we be viewing to see these and will it change throughout the evening?
They stream from a point in the sky within the boundaries of the constellation Gemini, but will be seen in all parts of the sky. Just look up! One to two hours after midnight should be the best viewing.
will i see it in scotland?
Are the Geminid meteors going to interact with Asteroid 4179 when it passes this week?
I’m afraid!!! Will this affect the asteroid that will flyby
Does this have anything to do with 2012
