How to Observe a Meteor Shower
by
Daniel Brian Stewart
Meteor showers are a wonderful sight, that don't require any specific knowledge or equipment to enjoy, just an appreciation for the beauty of the night sky. Fortunately meteor showers are far more common and easy to view than most people realize. Meteor showers are actually instances that come about in the event the Earth's orbit is known to move through a cluster, thick in particles creating a rise in the amount of shooting stars apparent in the sky.

by
Eve B.
Even though the annual Coma Berenicids meteor shower is not generally known as a spectacular event to astronomers, this year might be an exception to the rule. Observers have reported seeing "triangular yellow flashes," "orange balls streaking across the sky" and "fire balls" burning up in the atmosphere.

The Geminids Meteor Shower in 2009
by
Ian Maclean
Meteor showers are a wonderful sight with nothing more needed than some time, and a clear sky to observe them. the Geminids are one of the brightest recurring meteor showers in the sky and happen in mid-to-late December peaking on the 13-14th. Due to the virtually New Moon sky in 2009, they should be a great sight to see.
