GEMINID  METEOR SHOWER: This weekend, Earth will pass through a stream of 
debris from  extinct comet 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor 
 shower.  Forecasters expect more than 100 meteors per hour to fly out  of 
the constellation Gemini when the shower peaks on Dec. 13th and  14th.  For 
most observers, the best time to look will be from 10 pm  local time on 
Sunday night to dawn on Monday morning.  Visit  http://spaceweather.com for 
photos, a sky map, and live audio from a meteor  radar.
