Festive lights aren't the only noteworthy light show this week. The annual Geminid meteor shower is also peaking today and tomorrow. Host Steven Webb speaks with local astronomer Chris Curwin about how to get the best look at one of the year's most reliable meteor showers.

Before the 16th century calendar reform, Friday the 13th would've been Christmas Eve. The Geminid Meteor Shower peaks overnight the 13th, and it's worth noting despite nearly Full Moon.

Saint John astronomer Chris Curwin explains the best way to get a glimpse of the prolific meteor shower.

One of the best meteor showers of the year comes to a peak on the evening of December 13 and 14. Known as the Geminid Meteor Shower, it rivals the famous Perseids in August in numbers and brightness.

Mercury and Venus trek across the northern part of Sagittarius as they barely make it into the evening sky. The moon goes farther north and south each month as it approaches a so-called major lunar standstill. The Geminid meteor shower peaks this week. The first astronomers who saw this shower described it as not very active, but things have changed.

And, Taliban leaders have issued a "special decree" outlining women's rights in Afghanistan — one that outlaws child marriage but doesn't mention jobs or education. Wazhma Frogh, an advocate for Afghan women, joins us to discuss the situation on the ground there.

In particular, the 2020 report documents that the company has met or exceeded nearly all of its 2020 sustainability targets. Locally, Royal Caribbean Group has worked closely with WWF-Australia to help protect the critically endangered hawksbill turtle in the Asia-Pacific, through ‘Surrender Your Shell'. This program uses cutting-edge technology developed with Royal Caribbean Group's support to extract DNA from products to track the illegal trade of tortoiseshell.Other highlights from the report include:$8 million in support to WWF – developed the first-ever guidelines for shark and ray tourism, to help maintain the livelihood of these animals while allowing visitors to continue learning about them.Destination Stewardship – At our more than 500 destinations around the world, we partnered with local governments, tourism businesses, communities, and our guests to protect and care for the places we visit.Emissions reduction – Royal Caribbean Group achieved its carbon reduction target of 35% and has committed to further reduce emissions 25% by 2025.Circular economy – The company is working to achieve zero waste across the Royal Caribbean Group fleet.Sustainable sourcing – The company has a commitment to source 90% of wild-caught seafood and 75% of farmed seafood, served on Royal Caribbean Group ships from certified sustainable sources, a first for the cruise industry.The Apex of Change for Celebrity Cruises As the exquisite Celebrity Apex sailed into the setting sun from Port Everglades, the moment was made sweeter as the ship's Godmother, Reshma Saujani, the inspiring the founder of groundbreaking non-profit Girls Who Code and the Marshall Plan for Moms and author of bestseller, “Brave, Not Perfect” joined Lisa Lutoff-Perlo, Celebrity Cruises' President and CEO, and Richard Fain, Chairman of the Royal Caribbean Group and hundreds of guests including local dignitaries and media and influencers in an official naming ceremony of the stunning vessel.Saujani is a lifelong activist who surged onto the political scene as the first Indian American woman to run for U.S. Congress in 2010. Her viral TED Talk and international bestseller “Brave, Not Perfect” have sparked a worldwide conversation about how we're raising our girls and inspired countless women to fear less, fail more and live better.Since launching in the U.S. in 2012, Girls Who Code has reached 450,000 girls across the globe at nearly every stage of their educational journey. With a presence in the UK, U.S., India, and Canada the organization runs free programming for girls from ages 11-18, to inspire them to get excited about coding and computer science by providing learning opportunities, clear career pathways and a supportive sisterhood of peers and role models. In 2019, Girls Who Code was named the No.1 Non-Profit on Fast Company's The World's Most Innovative Companies list.Building on her work to empower women and girls, Reshma has most recently founded the Marshall Plan for Moms, a campaign to put women at the center of our nation's economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. After witnessing the impact the pandemic had on working mothers, millions of whom were pushed out of the workforce to care for children and take on increased labor at home, she built a movement to champion public and private sector policies to support all moms. Her efforts have led lawmakers to introduce resolutions in support of the plan.Celebrity Apex‘s much-anticipated arrival to U.S ports is a landmark moment for the brand, as the vessel's launch was originally planned for March 2020. Following a short run of Greek Island sailings this past summer, the ship now embarks for the first time from U.S shores on rotating Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries, where guests will visit the picturesque islands of Puerto Rico, St. Thomas, Belize, Grand Caymans and more.DANZA DEL MARE A Symbol of the MSC Foundation's efforts to protect the SeaThe sublime sculpture Danza del Mare was created for the MSC Foundation in partnership with Venini, one of the world's most esteemed glassmakers in the world which this year celebrates its 100 Anniversary. As a work of art, the creation, symbolises MSC Foundation's dedication to protecting and promoting the natural environment of which we are a part and upon which we depend: our Blue Planet. The sculpture was designed by Monica Guggisberg and Philip Baldwin for MSC Seashore and is located in the MSC Foundation Centre, rising from deck 5 to deck 8, surrounded by a mirror wall that proliferates the light and colours emanating from it, lit by a spotlight located in its base.The design uses the magical, fluid medium of glass to express the fluidity of the seas and everything in them, animal, vegetable and mineral, coral, fish, seaweed and oxygen. The immense depth and expanse of the sea, covering 71% of our world's surface, is contained in the imagery of the sculpture, in its great height and the density of its contents, as if it were the sea itself in a soaring prism of charged and moving constituents. Partly an image of Earth's lungs, partly an image of Earth's nutrition and partly an image of simple beauty, it symbolises the sea's indispensable role in our and our planet's wellbeing. We are dependent upon it. It is not dependent upon us.Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines' new flagship Bolette makes inaugural sailing from SouthamptonFred.

The Geminid Meteor Shower lights up the sky as a Total Solar Eclipse brings a New Moon just in time.

The Geminid meteor shower has been active! It began December 1, and is expected to end around December 22. The peak of the shower will be on the night of December 13 into the morning hours of the 14th. The Geminids are considered by the American Meteor Society (AMS), the most dependable and vibrant meteor showers of the year.  So what are the Geminids and how can you see them?  We explore that in our latest story!  Subscribe to The Storm Report Podcast so you never miss an episode.  You can find us on all major podcast platforms (iTunes, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc).  Visit our website at www.thestormreport.com!

We talk about our thoughts on the nature of feminine power, the importance of community and interdependence, and what an embodied & intentional path to self-trust and intuition looks like. We also discuss why you can't actually consent to anything if you don't know and trust yourself, the anger and grief-laden process of recognizing you've confused abuse with love, and why we both feel that if there's going to be a revolution, it will be one grounded in self-knowing and regulation.  Find Kylie at kyliemcbeath.com and on Instagram @beingisbeautiful Kylie's Book Recommendation: Patriarchy Stress Disorder by Valerie Rein Songs featured: "Geminid Meteor Shower" by Hidden Tapes and "Back In My Body" by Maggie Rogers How to support the show: Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Astrophiz 48: Dr Jacinta Delhaize 'Star-forming frenzy' In this fabulous extended 60min episode we feature Dr Jacinta Delhaize who is a Postdoctoral Researcher at University of Zagreb, Faculty of Science in Croatia. Jacinta has devolved a ‘stacking technique’ to combine data to overcome the problem of detecting weak hydrogen signals from distant galaxies. She has been using data from the Parkes Dish and the Hershel instrument to helps us understand the role of hydrogen in the evolution of galaxies. After recently moving from ICRAR in Western Australia to Croatia, her research is now looking at how black holes at the centres of galaxies can effect star formation, and is now using data from the Jansky VLA to continue this collaborative research. For observers and astrophotographers, Dr Ian ‘Astroblog’ Musgrave tell us what to look for in our morning and evening skies over the next days and weeks, and how to best observe the imminent Geminid Meteor Shower. In ‘ian’s tangent’ he tells us about Australia’s early eminence in Space with the 50th Anniversary of the launch of our first satellite, WRESAT Jacinta has an excellent youtube vid and you can see her describe her research on the infrared-radio correlation of galaxies at tinyurl.com/jdelhaize Her website is at www.jacintadelhaize.com and she also has a public twitter and instagram account. Both are @jdelhaize In the news: Teams of Radio astronomers and optical astronomers both research the Magellanic Clouds in the Southern hemisphere, and both teams come up with exciting discoveries.
