Space Weather News for Dec. 10, 2005
http://spaceweather.com
BRIGHT PLANETS.... When the sun goes down on Sunday, Dec. 11th, you've
got to go outside and look. In the south, Venus is shining at its
maximum brightness for all of 2005. (Through a telescope, Venus
appears to be a tiny crescent--very pretty.) And in the east, Mars and
the Moon are having a close encounter. Don't miss it!
...AND METEORS: The Geminid meteor shower peaks on Dec. 13th and
14th. Unfortunately, the glaring Moon will spoil the show, wiping out
all but the brightest Geminids. There is, however, a single hour when
the Geminids might be visible in full force. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for details.
ICY BONUS: With a cold wave sweeping across the USA, filling the air
with ice and snow, people are seeing some unusual things in the sky.
During the week ahead we'll show you some of them, beginning with
false auroras and diamond dust sundogs. Check every day for a new picture.
