SUMMARY:Undiscovered Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of planets have been discovered orbiting stars beyond the Sun. Our solar system is not alone in the universe\, and with rapidly improving technology and recent endeavors like the Kepler Telescope\, the discovery of exoplanets brings us one step closer to the possibility of finding an Earth-like world. How will this change how we view our place in the universe? Are we alone? \nAges 9 to adult

SUMMARY:The Geminid Meteor Shower
DESCRIPTION:The Geminids can be observed annually between December 4 and December 17\, with its peak activity being around December 14. The shower owes its name to the constellation Gemini from where the meteors seem to emerge from in the sky. \nUnlike most other meteor showers\, the Geminids are associated not with a comet but with an asteroid – the 3200 Phaethon. The asteroid takes about 1.4 years to orbit around the Sun. \nThe Geminids are considered to be one of the more spectacular meteor shower during a year\, with the possibility of sighting around 120 meteors per hour at its peak. \nWhere to view\nThe Geminids can be observed from locations all around the world. \nWhile it is not necessary to look in a particular direction to enjoy a meteor shower – just lay down on the ground and look directly above and you are bound to see some meteors – astronomers suggest lying down on the ground looking towards the South and look at the sky above you to view the Leonids. \nWhen to view\nThe best time to view the Geminids between 9 p.m. (21:00) and before dusk. \nHow to view\nThere isn’t a lot of skill involved in watching a meteor shower. Here are some tips on how to maximize your time looking for the Geminids: \n\nGet out of the city to a place where city and artificial lights do not impede your viewing\nIf you are out viewing the shower during its peak\, you will not need any special equipment. You should be able to see the shower with your naked eyes.\nCarry a blanket or a comfortable chair with you – viewing meteors\, just like any other kind of star gazing is a waiting game\, and you need to be comfortable. Plus\, you may not want to leave until you can’t see the majestic celestial fireworks anymore.\nCheck the weather and moonrise and moonset timings for your location before you leave\, and plan your viewing around it.
