2013 Geminid Meteor Shower over Boulder, Colorado

Astrophotographer Cody Limber sent in a composite image of Geminid meteors falling over Boulder, CO, on Dec. 14, 2013. He writes: "I used 25 out of the 600 images that I took over the course of the night to make this composite shot. To capture the shot, I set my camera on interval shooting mode starting at about 12:30 and ending at around 3 am. During this time the moon set and the sky became perfectly clear. I was worried that clouds might be a problem because when I looked outside at 9:00 it was completely cloudy, but fortunately it cleared up at around 1:00 am, and I was able to get the shot."

2013 Geminid Meteor Seen Outside Las Vegas, NV

Astrophotographer Tyler Leavitt sent in a photo of a Geminid meteor taken Dec. 14, 2013, outside of Las Vegas, NV. He writes: "My wife and I ran outside of town to watch all bundled up with a nice warm cup of coffee. Even with the nearly full moon, we were able to see over 30 in a little over an hour before we started shivering. I really enjoy how much more slowly the Geminids appear to flash across the sky compared to other meteors. Many appeared to have a slight greenish hue to them. This was taken 25 miles south of Las Vegas, NV."

Stack of 2013 Geminid Meteors Over Anglesey, North Wales, UK.

Astrophotographer Adrian Kingsley-Hughes provided a composite image of Geminid meteors taken Dec. 13, 2013. He wrote on Flickr.com: "This is a composite of the meteor trails I caught over a period of about 40 minutes from a stack of images. To get them onto one image I cut out the trails, enhanced them (some were faint and darned hard to spot) and then positioned them relative to one another in the new image. With just a few meteors caught this was painstaking ([lens] distortion makes it doubly tricky) and I think I went cross-eyed a few times, but I think the result is worth it!"
