Good viewing for the Geminid Meteor Shower this week

 

The Geminid Meteor shower peaks Wednesday and Thursday night, meaning those are the nights you're most likely to see a shooting star, but the showers continue through December 24th. December is often a cloudy month in Michiana, but the forecast is fair and cold for viewing the next two nights. 

• Find a dark location away from city lights
• The Dr. Lawless International Dark Sky Park near Vandalia, Michigan is a good location
• Look UP!
• Your back to the north, and looking slightly east may point you in the right direction but it's not that precise. 
• The best time to look is from Midnight through the early morning.
