Geminids Meteor Shower December 4-17, 2021
December 4th brought us the arrival of the Geminids Meteor Shower, one of the most anticipated annual celestial events for stargazers. The shower is on track to peak December 13-14, at which point Geminids is capable of producing up to 150 meteors per hour, however there is still plenty of activity to see leading up to those dates. Grab some blankets or a sleeping bag, and a warm drink to sip on and head away from the city lights. Views of the meteors are best in the early morning, in between the moonset, and the sunrise. Make sure you give your eyes plenty of time to adjust to the dark, typically about 20 minutes, so that you don’t miss out on the spectacular views the night sky has to offer.
International Mountain Day: December 11, 2021
Did you know that mountains cover 27% of Earth’s landmass? Or that their peaks help to provide freshwater to half of the world’s population? International Mountain Day was established to promote awareness for the importance that mountains and the communities within them hold. Here in California, we are lucky to be surrounded by seemingly endless ranges including wonders such as Mount Shasta which is pictured above. Curious how to celebrate? Head up to the summits, take in the spectacular views, and appreciate the beauty and resources that these massive landforms provide.
