Geminids Meteor Shower Viewing at USM

The children do so want to watch the Planetarium show but didn't get a chance this holidays. However they went for the 2014 Geminids meteor shower viewing instead. As they study a little bit of astronomy in KSSR Science for Year 4, I encouraged both of them to appreciate the wonders of the universe. And what nearest way to this when Geminids meteor shower happening right where we can see? Again courtesy of USM, the children get to have this experience :)

 Too bad they didn't see anything for the first day they went, probably they went back too early.

First day, didn't observe any Geminids meteor shower as they went back early

With lecturer who gave talk on Geminids

 The next night, they pestered Papa to go again, not giving up at all. This time they really see and and observed the Geminid meteor shower. They were so happy!
Went again for Geminids meteor shower observation

Hopefully next time, they get to go for more such nature sightings again if time permits. I file this post under Holiday Workshop as initially I thought they'd be going to see a planetarium show :P
