More Meteors - The Geminids !

For the first time since I have been following Meteor Showers in the past 3yrs, we look like getting clear skies her in NE Arnhem Land for the Geminid Meteor shower.
I am looking forward over the next few evenings for what may be the best shower of the year.
Noted for it's larger than usual particle size the resulting meteors have been recored as being brighter & more persistent than other Meteor showers.
This is said to be the result of the rocky body (3200 Phaethon) a suspected burnt out comet, where all of the icy compounds have burnt off in successive orbits around the sun.
Not surprising, given that it travels within the orbit of Mercury as it passes around the sun.
Lets hope it puts on a good show !
Update: True to form, the "build-up" gave us storms all night on the night of the peak. Oh well, mabye next year !
