Each year Astronomy Ireland asks everyone to take part in a Nationwide Geminid Watch, where you simply count the number of meteors – or shooting stars – you see. You can do this safely with all the family from outside your own home. This year should be particularly good as there won’t be any moon to interfere with your viewing. Dave Moore of Astronomy Ireland joined Pat on the show this morning to tell us more about the sky tonight.
