It wasnt until 1983 when a NASA satellite discovered a small asteroid, now named 3200 Phaethon, which is now thought by many to be a dead comet and the long lost parent body of the Gemmids. As telescopes and binoculars restrict the view of the sky they should not be used to view this or any meteor shower. According to Wiggins, Probably the best meteor observing equipment consists of a lawn chair, a few blankets and some munchies. As with most meteor showers, the Geminids will probably be most active after midnight, however many meteors may be seen in the early evening as well. A few Geminids may also be visible a few nights before and af- ter the predicted peak, but their numbers on those nights could be fewer as the Earth will then be less centered in the comet particle swarm.

But a portable electric generator should help, not hurt you. Installed incorrectly, a generator can become a serious hazard to you, your home and Utah Power crews who work on power lines. You must use an approved transfer switch to connect a generator to your home's wiring, so the power can't travel back into Utah Power's system. And the switch must comply with the National Safety Code and local building codes - have it installed by a licensed electrician. What else can you do to stay safe? A lot, actually. Wait! Dont do it yourself. Never plug your generator into an outlet and dont connect a generator to your homes main fuse box or circuit panel. A generator connected to main power lines can cause power from the generator to backfeed into electric lines. This can overload and damage the generator as well as create a hazard for our line crews. To power an appliance temporarily, plug it directly into the generator. Use heavy-dutproperly grounded extension cords and position them so they wont be tripped over - especially in the dark. Always properly ventilate a portable generator. d generators produce carbon monoxide and the fumes can be deadly. Gasoline-powere- Dont overload your generator. Be sure the total electric load on your generator doesn't exceed its rating. Follow the manufacturers instructions. Be careful using your generator. Youll want to be around to get some other things done. You can reach us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Just call UTAH POWER A PtiaftCorj Company Making it happen. POOB |
