Hey guys the other day a comet came across the south carolina sky! I have a photo but it isn't the best of quality. I also have more of it on my drop box account. (click me) https://www.dropbox.com/s/b5kg0uhl4cn5c5r/IMG_20131211_151327.jpg you may want to zoom in on it
Not something you see every day! never seen anything like that myself. I did see a solar eclipse when i was really young.
It's part of Geminids Meteor Shower. It will peak on the 13th and 14th of this month. You should be able to see up to 60 an hour after midnight., you'll still see some before then but it should peak after midnight. Dunno if you'd be able to watch it in the UK though.
