Skywatching. . .

Just back from a morning stroll around north Lansing. As I was out and about tonight I spent a bit of my time searching for meteors. Tonight the Geminid shower is supposed to be at its' peak, and in spite of the fact that I remained in town I managed to spot a few as they zipped across the sky. Walking through the grounds of the School for the Blind I found an area far enough away from street lights to enjoy some darkness. The radiance from all the city lights sometimes makes it difficult to see much of anything in the heavens overhead.
