"Star-gazers are being urged to stay up late and enjoy one of the best displays of the Geminid meteor showers for some years on the night of 14 December 2010.
The National Trust has cited Wicken Fen in Cambridgeshire as one of the seven best locations to view the meteors." [1]
What's so important about the 14th of December? The 14th of December is the 'Day of the Exhibitionist' and the 15th of December is the 'Day of Expansion' and its in the week of 'THE TITAN'.
Nasa states it begins on the 13th and it defies explanation. 13 is the Hebrew gematria value of love. The 13th of December is also the 'Day of Craft'.
The Geminid meteor shower, which peaks this year on Dec. 13th and 14th, is the most intense meteor shower of the year. It lasts for days, is rich in fireballs, and can be seen from almost any point on Earth.
It's also NASA astronomer Bill Cooke's favorite meteor shower—but not for any of the reasons listed above.
"The Geminids are my favorite," he explains, "because they defy explanation."
Most meteor showers come from comets, which spew ample meteoroids for a night of 'shooting stars.' The Geminids are different. The parent is not a comet but a weird rocky object named 3200 Phaethon that sheds very little dusty debris—not nearly enough to explain the Geminids. [2]
