Joining me today is my son, Soccorso.   13th – 14th – Geminid Meteor Shower –  The Geminids are usually a good shower, with up to 100 meteors per hour.  That means that, even though this is not a great year for them (Full Moon will brighten the sky and reduce how many meteors we’ll see), hanging outside for 20-30 minutes should still bring you some good sights. When? Really, any time of the night is good. After midnight is always best… Where do I look? The...
