Description

Went out to Ballahack Road in Chesapeake to watch the 2022 Geminids from 9 to 10:30 pm on Wednesday Night. It started in the 40s but quickly dropped in temperature. It was so cold I watched the moisture on my truck liner freeze up. While I missed the peak of the shower, I did end up catching a few on the timelapse, and I saw a large fireball while I was stargazing at the Andromeda Galaxy. You can see 4 meteors all coming from the Gemini constellation (the radiant of the meteor shower), which is why these are call the Geminid Meteor Shower.
