Out and About

Indiana Jones had nothing on the Kendal Winter Warriors. On December 13, around 9 pm, they gathered together to brave the near-freezing night to admire The Geminids — an upcoming meteor shower promised by astronomers worldwide! The best place to view the shower was assumed to be along RTE 448 (Bedford Rd) somewhere near Stone Barns, since there was a great deal of open sky in that area, very little traffic on the road, and very few buildings and hopefully minimal light pollution. The shower (The Geminids) was expected to be quite active (about 70/hour!) and multicolored. Sadly, it either didn’t appear or the cloud cover obscured it. But the Warriors are undeterred! All — or, anyway, some will be tracking the celestial calendar for the next display in full expectation of a magnificent display!
