Stargazing Time

It's time to turn your eyes heavenwards again after last month's Comet Holmes. Tonight and tomorrow it's the turn of the Geminid meteor shower. It's predicted to be the best yet, and previous years' have been pretty spectacular in my experience. I actually saw a couple of shooting stars last night whilst looking at Orion at about midnight, so I've started early this year.

  1. Nice to have you visit my blog, I'd love to be receiving those violent veg cards. Re your post, I am always so keen to see anything happening up above, but very rarely do I get to see anything, either I forget or there is too much cloud. I remember as a kid seeing a comet, I can't remember which one, could it have been Haleys, that is the only one I know!

  2. Hi this is my patch! Thanks for having a look. Unfortunately the skies were cloudy here this year, so I didn't get to see anything either!

Hi, let's start a conversation - right here, right now! If you have a question, I'll also endeavour to get back to you over at your place.

If anyone is having problems leaving comments, do contact me on vegplotting at gmail dot com or @malvernmeet if a quick tweet is more convenient for you.

Thanks xxx

My general policy re comments

I value genuine commenters for the conversation they bring. Those aiming to link back and give credence to commercial websites (thankfully rare) will be removed.

Blog posts are kept open for your Comments for as long as possible - for at least 3 months. I've reluctantly taken the decision if a post comes in for a sp@m attack after that time, I'll remove its Comments facility. I've found genuine comments are rarely left after 3 months, but dozens of sp@m comments are :( Removing these takes away the joy that a genuine comment might be left one day.
