But this morning, absolutely clear and calm,\u00a0 I saw magnificent\u00a0 orange fireball slowly move across over half the sky. It was nearly overhead, and I first noticed it when it was about 10 degrees east of the zenith. It moved nearly due west to finally disappear over the Eddy mountains.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1631\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1631\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1631 \" title=\"Geminid fireball in the Mojave Desert.

More from the American Meteor Society on sporadic meteor rates in February:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>As seen from the mid-northern hemisphere (45N) one would expect to see approximately eleven sporadic meteors per hour during the last hour before dawn as seen from rural observing sites. Evening rates would be near two per hour.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s 11 meteors an hour predawn. I&#8217;ve seen hundreds, possibly thousands, of meteors in my life just bey getting up early and heading outside.<\/p>\n<p>(Special thanks to Waly Pacholka for permission to use his photo.
