Geminid meteor shower 2025 peaks in Ontario skies soon

The Geminid meteor shower, considered one of the year’s best, peaks this weekend in Ontario.

The show dazzles sky watchers annually in mid-December, and viewing conditions look more optimal than last year to catch the shower as the moon’s light won’t present much interference.

When does the Geminid meteor shower peak in Ontario ?

You can watch the Geminids peak on the evenings and early morning hours of Dec. 13 and Dec. 14.

The Geminid shower is considered unique because meteors are visible all night long as the constellation Gemini, the shower’s radiant, arises just an hour or two after dusk.

Most active shower of the year

The Geminids are considered to be the most active shower of the year.

“During its peak, 120 Geminid meteors can be seen per hour under perfect conditions,”
