God is putting on a Festival of Lights tonight (2nd night) .... Geminid Meteor Shower - Dec 12-13-14
Several times each year, as Earth travels around the Sun, the planet passes through narrow streams of ice, dusty and rock, left behind by the repeated passage of comets through the inner solar system. When this happens, the debris in these streams is swept up by Earth's atmosphere, and the tiny bits of ice and rock cause brief streaks of light in the night sky that we call meteors.
While we can see individual meteors (called sporatics) on pretty much any night of the year, the concentrations of meteors from these streams of debris are called meteor showers.
