Pioggia di Geminidi...
When Gemini Sends Stars to Paranal

Explanation: From a radiant point in the constellation of the Twins, the annual Geminid meteor shower rained down on planet Earth this week. Recorded near the shower's peak in the early hours of December 14, this skyscape captures Gemini's lovely shooting stars in a careful composite of 30 exposures, each 20 seconds long, from the dark of the Chilean Atacama Desert over ESO's Paranal Observatory. In the foreground Paranal's four Very Large Telescopes, four Auxillary Telescopes, and the VLT Survey telescope are all open and observing. The skies above are shared with bright Jupiter (left), Orion, (top left), and the faint light of the Milky Way. Dust swept up from the orbit of active asteroid 3200 Phaethon, Gemini's meteors enter the atmosphere traveling at about 22 kilometers per second.

Domani la nebbia si sposta verso Est
Le nebbie dovrebbero domattina spostarsi sulle province orientali del Piemonte lasciando cielo sgombro su Piemonte Ovest e Cuneese oltre che sul Ponente ligure e Liguria tutta.
