If defending science from creationists is bad, I don’t wanna be right. Bad Astronomer, you go, man, go.

Probably crappy cloudy here, too, tonight. I used to have a good pair of binoculars, but I’ve lost or misplaced them. I did ask for a new pair for Giftmas because of reading your blog. Thanks, Phil!

Hey. If anyone gets pictures of the Geminids, why not send them to the Guardian's science blog. It would cool to compare them

According to a news program here in Argentina, the meteor shower is caused by the earth going through the remains of the constellation of Sagittarius. I didn’t know it was broken.

This is a test post to see if it is being reported as spam

BTW England and clouds go together quite well, especially around the time of astronomical events.

Having read this post 2 hours ago, i went outside with some cool beer and a pair of binoculars. I have just got back inside, it was awesome! even being in the middle of the city i was able to see about 14 big ones. mosquitoes ate me alive, but it was worth it.
hi from the other hemisphere, phil! (and thanks for the post. i though the peak was tomorrow)

I was moving a motorcycle inside tonight (snowstorm tomorrow in Boston) when I saw one of these zip by! You don’t necessarily need a dark sky to see them…

Too cloudy here in Western Canada. I had read that this meteor shower was the best of the year, but I always thought that the Perseid shower in August was the best.
