Some of you that read this may have had the pleasure of knowing or working with Jim Gamble. Jim has passed from this earthly life into Heaven, The Infinite Dimension.

Rejoice in this news, as Jim now is.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife Jan, mother Molly and his two sons Chris and Steve (and their families).

I have considered Jim a close and good friend, knowing him now for over three years, we spent daily Skype telephone calls sometimes lasting 8-10 hours! He was a very smart man with extreme motivation and skills. He was a true living man, a teacher, a friend, a loving father and husband.

Jim you were a blessing! A true bolide!

He will be sadly missed and fondly remembered. RIP, Jim Gamble! Amen!

Geminid Meteor Show  2010 Chris Peterson (c) 2010
 http://www.cloudbait.com/science/geminid2010.html

Reported by Chris Peterson- Cloudbait Observatory
The annual Geminid meteor shower occurs when debris from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon intercepts the Earth. This is an unusual type of shower in having an asteroidal, rather than cometary parent. However, evidence suggests that Phaethon is actually the rocky core of an evaporated comet. These meteors intercept the Earth at a fairly low speed of 35 km/s (79,000 mph). Because of this, Geminids tend to be slow and colorful- probably the prettiest of the major showers.

This is a composite image of 363 Geminid meteors collected between sunset on December 10 and sunrise on December 14 (19, 31, 89, and 229 meteors respectively). Since the images were collected over many hours, the radiant of the shower is not in a fixed location. Conditions this year were good, with little interference from the Moon and largely clear skies.

Long necklace-like trails on the image are the paths of stars and planets, circling the north celestial pole in the upper left.

This image contains only meteors identified as Geminids. Several other showers are currently active as well. Recorded, but not shown in the composite, are 30 Puppid-Velids, 58 Monocerotids, 7 Chi Orionids, 49 Sigma Hydrids, and 80 sporadics.  (more)  see  http://www.cloudbait.com/science/geminid2010.html
