The year’s best meteor shower will send streaks across the Saturday night and early Sunday morning sky. The Geminids meteor shower has proven to reliably produce around 120 meteors per hour in a dark sky, and many of them are bright .

Plus the Geminids is the only major meteor shower where you can see a good number of meteors starting at 10 p.m., instead of the hours just before dawn.

This year, the moon will not interfere with the Geminids, but the weather most definitely will . Our forecast for the Geminids’ peak includes cloudy skies, snow and bitter cold temps.
