The Bad Astronomer has posted his Top 10 astronomy images, an excellent selection stretching from colliding galaxies to the dark matter halo. However, despite all these reviews of the year there is plenty still going on in the world of astronomy. On Earth, observers willing to get up in the small hours of the night tonight and tomorrow should get a chance to see the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, as described in this Geminid meteor shower post by Dr. Pamela Gay. This shower consistently gives good rates (up to around 1/minute) and is unusual in being caused by the debris coming off of a passing asteroid, rather than a comet. The weather isn’t looking great up here in Scotland at the moment but I’ll be keeping an eye on things and getting out with the camera if possible.
