Skywatchers

Skywatchers in the northern hemisphere have turned their heads upwards to see the annual Geminids meteor shower. The shower was especially easy to see this year because it is nearly the new Moon, meaning there was less moonlight to obscure it. The meteors could be seen streaking across the night sky from 2000 GMT; peaking around 2200. Robert Massey, of the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, said about 100 meteors an hour made it a "nice sight".

In August people in the UK were treated to the sight of the Perseid meteor shower. However, light from the last quarter Moon interfered with viewing. That shower occurs when Earth passes through a stream of dusty debris from the comet Swift-Tuttle. Earlier this year, in other parts of the world, many people who stayed up throughout the night to witness what was expected to be an intense meteor shower were left disappointed.

The Leonid meteor shower, the best views of which were to have been from Asia, was largely obscured by cloud. Normally, meteor showers result from dust which has been blown away from comets which have passed near the sun. The warmth of our star melts part of the icy comet, releasing rock fragments. The naked eye is usually best for seeing meteors, which can often streak across more than 45 degrees of the sky.

UK missing out on HD

A staggering majority of UK consumers are not getting the best out of their high-definition (HD) televisions, according to a survey. Although 56% of UK households now have an HD television, 91% still watch standard DVDs and get their television through standard set-top boxes. Full HD broadcasting can be viewed from Sky, Virgin and Freesat but will eventually be available on Freeview. For full HD, films must be played on an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray player.

Games consoles that some consumers have already offer HD content. Sony's PlayStation 3 already has a Blu-Ray player built in, and the next versions of Microsoft's XBox 360 and Nintendo's Wii are rumoured to include Blu-Ray as well. However, the survey of 2000 adults showed 81% admitted to not getting the best from any of the hi-tech gadgets around their homes - from mobiles to laptops.

That means that many consumers who have all the technology in hand to view full HD may not be setting up the devices and the cables properly to do so.
