7. Things are never perfect but it's still worth keeping your eyes up this week, as there's never a better time of year to see a #meteor

[Steve Owens @darkskyman]

This Thursday 14 December 2023 sees the peak of the year's best and most reliable #meteorshower, the #Geminids.

The peak is due on Thursday evening but it's worth keeping an eye out every night this week as we build towards the peak. Here are some tips for your #meteorwatch...

6. During the #Geminids #meteorshower this week, under perfect conditions (no clouds, no light pollution, perfect eyesight, and during the peak) you might expect to see over 100 #meteors every hour!

One of my favourite things to do at work. Chatting about science and whisky with the good folk @GoodSpiritsCo, and sharing that with all our guests, before ending the evening in the wonderful @GSCPlanetarium

[Glasgow Science Centre @gsc1]

@_JamieMcIntyre Wow, would have been stunning to see from somewhere as dark as Ardnamurchan.

A lovely bright fragmenting fireball meteor seen due N of Glasgow at 1721. Beautiful green colour in the trail. Anyone else see it? #fireball #meteor #scotland #stargazing
