There will be meteor showers shown on December 13th and 14th. Debris flying from outer space, will slowly enter the Earth's orbit. Lighting up parts of the sky as shooting stars. The meteors are pieces of debris, in this case rocks from the Gemini constellation. When they enter the Earth's atmosphere they fall to the surface as fast as twenty two miles per second. They start to burn up, heating the air around them and leaving a trail of light, which should be easy to spot due to its yellow color. Burning up as they approach, they may never make it. An event like this is a memorable event, especially at this time with the weather not being as cold in winter.
