    See The First Meteor Shower Of 2018 Tonight

    I'm keeping with my space theme this week.

    For those interested in meteor showers. :0)

    __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _______

    The first month of 2018 is anything but dull when it comes to astronomy. January started with one supermoon and will end with a second, and in between the two, there will be a meteor shower.

    The Quadrantids meteor shower will peak late Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Unlike most meteor showers, it only peaks for a few hours, according to NASA.

    Great video. Too cloudy tonight though.

    Oh stop, you live in southern Florida. It's 22° here and wind chill around 12°. 13° by sun up and wind chills around 4-5°
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Cloudy in my part of the Appalachians too and snow coming for the upper elevations, 3000' and higher.
