The upcoming Geminid meteor shower next week may promise to be the best sky show of the year, but for many scientists it's a space light show shrouded in mystery.

I have only one word to say

Triffids

Hello,
mygod there's someone remembering " Triffids"

Science Fiction was much better back then, there are only few new SF titles being published, and most is imho overrated. I don't blame the critics, every SF book that is being published is certainly to be greeted, but ... much more ideas and imagination in those times.

Greetings,
Catfish
