HTHM Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 When I saw the title, and then the author, I thought this can't be good......Thankfully you kept ur pants on. This was intersting though : "Try this trick, though: Using a pencil eraser or similar object held at arm's length, gauge the size of the moon when it's near the horizon and again later when it's higher up and seems smaller. You'll see that when compared to a fixed object, the moon will be the same size in both cases." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douG Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Another astronomical treat that could be seen tonight and for the next two nights is the annual Geminid meteor shower, one of the year’s best displays of shooting stars. Up to 100 meteors an hour can fly across the sky. The meteors, which are easy to spot with the naked eye, appear to shoot out from the constellation Gemini, hence their name, but they can be seen all over the sky. However, with a full moon so bright, the best place to look is away from the Moon. Meteor showers happen when the Earth passes through clouds of debris shed from comets. As the tiny fragments smash into the Earth’s upper atmosphere at about 100,000mph, they burn up in streaks of light. For reasons that are not understood, the Geminid meteor showers are tending to grow stronger each year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
