One of our best nights of #2022 for #meteors was 13th December @diasdunsink for the #Geminids. Cloudy for much of the night, but when it cleared they were amazing! 160 meteors detected with our #GlobalMeteorNetwork camera at Dunsink

I meant to share this earlier, its a chart showing all the #meteors our four cameras detected from 10-16 Dec. Mostly #Geminids of course!

Wow, what a busy #Geminids we had! over 6500 #meteors matched by 137 cameras. A very sharp peak though!

水曜日にふたご座流星群の流星を撮ってみた！空気が綺麗で都内のマンションからでもけっこう見れた。

Last night, geminid meteors were active. Caught quite a few between 11 pm to 4 am. These are long exposure pictures, first picture was 5 hours. All pictures taken on my iphone. For power, I just plugged in phone to an extension cord and ran the cord to an outside wall outlet.

A reminder how the #Geminids look up close!

For the first time ever, we captured how the Geminids fragment with the Canadian Automated Meteor Observatory's telescopic system. Just in time to publish some papers before @JAXA_en@twitter.com DESTINY+ launches!

Last night was a good one for #meteors Cleak skies and cold air, perfect for #Geminids! A few planes in there too, but the vast majority of the tracks are meteors.

I forgot to share the timelapse video links from our #meteorcameras yesterday. They're on my husband's YT channel, here's our SE facing camera video; this camera detected 184 #meteors! #Geminids #GeminidsMeteorShower #Geminids2022 https://youtu.be/zilVare3oWg

1500+ shots, at least 4 Geminid meteors that I could see. I definitely need to look thru them all tomorrow. Have lots of data for a ton of star trails photos. This one is my brightest one.

Saw many geminids 😊☄️
I didn't realise they're caused by an asteroid, rather than all the other major meteor showers which are caused by comets. Thank you, 3200 Phaethon, discovered when I was 7mo, with your unusual characteristics. JAXA are going to flyby you in a couple years. #geminids #Astrodon

Wonderful night for stargazing.
Meteor shower peaking tonight and the sky is clear - for once - and the moon is still fairly low in the sky. 'Tis chilly, but worth it! 🥶
#Geminids

We detected so many #Geminids across the #UKMeteorNetwork last night that Mark had to run the solver twice. The total number of matched detections was around 2,200!! The detection rate was over 300 per hour around 3am; that's absolutely mental! #Geminids2022 #MeteorShower #meteors #RaspberryPiMeteorCamera
