Can you beleive those guys at DU... arranging a meteor shower just for us

The veiwing should be spectacular from the boat...See below

This meteor shower gets the name "Geminids" because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini. An observer in the Northern Hemisphere can start seeing Geminid meteors as early as December 6, when one meteor every hour or so could be visible. During the next week, rates increase until a peak of 50-80 meteors per hour is attained on the night of December 13/14. The last Geminids are seen on December 18, when an observer might see a rate of one every hour or so.

Thanks Lori, your right the view should be wonderful.

When I posted about the meteor shower a couple weeks ago, someone replied that the lights on the ship will be too bright.

Maybe they can dim them for us.
