Big time #Geminid #meteor shower show last night! Just post-peak and the shower was rich in bright meteors and #fireballs! View from 1450 m high up on Krvavec mountain, #Slovenia. Finally, Geminids in the snow! #astronomy @ThePhotoHour @xWxClub @eMeteorNews

Views of the total lunar eclipse during the wee hours of Nov 8 with the red Moon set in the starry winter sky accompanied by red Mars. And we had a bonus aurora that appeared as the sky darkened during totality. It was a fine -25° C this night! @twanight @SkyNewsMagazine

Do follow the link & download the full-sized image if you dare – there's a huge amount of superb detail in there when you pan & zoom.
