You are always there, my starry friends...

Whenever I'm feeling down, I will turn to the stars.

Looks like the timing is right. I anticipate the arrival of the Geminids.

"The annual Geminid meteor shower, which will reach its maximum on the night of Dec. 13-14, usually offers the best show of the year, outperforming even the Perseid shower of August. But this year the Geminid meteors will peak just a day after full moon, so only the brightest streaks will be visible. Some meteors will appear as soon as the sky is completely dark, and the numbers will increase as the evening advances. The nights before and after the peak should also provide good opportunities for seeing the meteors that are not washed out by bright moonlight."

"If the Geminid meteors are overwhelmed by moonlight, you'll have another opportunity when the Ursid shower peaks before dawn on Dec. 22. The Ursid radiant is near the bright star Polaris, the north star, which is above the horizon all night. The usual rate is about five meteors per hour, but sometimes there are bursts of 30 or more per hour. The Ursid shower will be active from Dec. 17 to Dec. 26, and moonlight won't be much of a problem after midnight."


...I wish you could see them with me...
