A meteor shower is expected to turn the skies above Australia into a celestial light show overnight. The shower, known as the Geminids because it appears to come from the constellation of Gemini, happens in December every year and can be seen from anywhere in the world. Sydney Observatory curator of astronomy Nick Lomb said conditions were good for Australians to view the shower this year, with no moon expected to be visible. He said the show was expected to start at about 11pm (AEDT), with the peak coming just before dawn at about 3.45am (AEDT) on Saturday. "It will look like streaks of light, like whitish flares," Dr Lomb said. "It could be quite spectacular." A meteor shower is caused when the earth runs into a stream of dust and ice left by a comet orbiting the sun. The Geminids shower is caused by the earth running into a stream of material from a chunk of rock known as 3200 Phaeton, which astronomers believe could be the remnants of a dead comet.
THIS IS POST NO. 99 and I can't believe I missed 18.18 by publishing at 18.17 and only seeing that at 18.19. Guess that's the way it goes.
and of course it was OVERCAST and I didn't get to see a thing!!!! bah humbug!!!
The Dawn of a New Era, what can be more appropriate than that!? Starting today, the very first day of the new year of 2007, the on line thoughts, aspirations and creations of Lydia, the Dawning One... This is a continuation of the Life and evolvement of a unique Soul in this worldly manifestation. Why unique? Because it's growing, discerning, evolving and creating a new existance in this world that is coming to a close in the old way of being. Time to start anew and rejoice!
