Geminid meteors

It's the time of the year again!

It's the Geminid Meteor Shower!!!

I've saw it once few years ago, and I did it again.

This time, I manage to see more than I expected. Indeed my best night of my life, able to see more in a night.

According to Earthsky, the peak hour for Geminid Meteor is between 13th night til 14th dawn. At my area, during that time was cloudy and drizzled a little. Moreover, I was too busy for my assignment submission, I stayed up all night doing it. I did went out from the house to check the sky, but it was cloudy. It's the monsoon season, and I'm not that surprise if it rains at night.

As for today, I just looked up to the sky, surprisingly it was so clear!

I could more stars today as well. The Orion Constellation which also known as the hunter is the most obvious in the sky. I was mesmerized by the beauty of the night. really 아름다운 밤, a beautiful night. This reminds me of the same name song by a Korean Group, Beast. Now, the song is stuck in my head.

As I was smiling away looking at the stars, then I came to see few streaks of meteors, it was quite fast. I was happy, that I'm able to see it. Then I just waited, then I saw one, a slower and brighter with whoosh sound, seeing it, leaving a trail with the sound and then, it burst, n gone. That's the 2nd most memorable one I've ever seen because this is considered the 1st time I see a clear and slower in speed, at home. The 1st of course, I saw it when I was in a plane, flying from Sabah back to KL. AWESOME!!

Greed came in, and I wanna see more, and I did. I'm truly blessed that I could see it clearly.

Then I remembered, reading somewhere that we could see the Orion Nebulae along the 'sword' of the the Hunter. I went and took a binoculars, and I'm more than happy that I could see the blurry image of the Nebulae. I mean, I could see it is the Nebulae. I'm so happy because the sky is soooo clear. I think this is considered clearest compared to other nights.

I could sleep nicely tonight, smiling...

Sky at night

I just went out to try my luck to look for meteor again, well, the peak time has gone, it's pretty hard to see one now.

However, today's sky is clearer than days before and I could see more stars.

The best thing is, I used binoculars to see those stars. I could see so many stars, small and big ones.

There're always these 3 bright stars shine in a straight line. The whole year, we can see it, then now I realized it's actually part of the famous constellation, The Orion or The Hunter. I went to searched for an image in Google, and then went out to check on it with my binoculars. I manage to find the whole Orion. I feel so proud and happy. LOL.

The 3 bright stars in a row actually is the belt or waist of The Hunter. Early of the night, these 3 stars are in line facing in a direction, then few hours later, it rotated, well, the Earth rotates.

I'm gonna check other constellation around it from the image I've got.

STAR GAZING!!

Now my neck hurts. I've been straining it for few days, today its pretty more hurt than before.

It's really amazing for me to find the correct constellation and to know what kind of stars are those. Yes, I do love Astronomy. I wanna learn more, sometimes I'm just lazy. HEHE..

And I know I've been repeating this, I really want to own a TELESCOPE!!!

Back to star gazing and meteor.
