I stayed out the other night to capture this timelapse of the geminids.

Gemini Meteors over Snow Capped Mountains

Where are all of these meteors coming from? In terms of direction on the sky, the pointed answer is the constellation of Gemini. That is why the major meteor shower in December is known as the #Geminids -- because shower meteors all appear to come from a radiant toward Gemini.

I saw ONE #meteor from my west facing porch. The wind is rattling my home, the city is too bright & there is a GRANDIOSE Birch tree in my direct line of sight toward the sky.

BUT

I saw a meteor & it was cool as hell.
