2023 Hungarian Sky to Witness Spectacular Shooting Star Shower

The Geminid meteor shower is set to peak tonight, and about half of the contiguous US states can expect clear skies for optimal viewing. The "Good" viewing zone includes the Midwest, Middle Atlantic Coast, Northern Plains, Rockies, southern California, southern and eastern Nevada, and much of Arizona. However, the Far West, parts of Washington State, Oregon, northern California, Texas, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan, northern Ohio, northwest Pennsylvania, Gulf Coast, and Florida Peninsula will experience "Poor" viewing conditions due to clouds and precipitation. The rest of the nation can expect "fair" sky conditions. Bundle up as temperatures will be in the teens and 20s. Unfortunately, next year's Geminid shower will be hindered by a full moon, but 2025 will offer better viewing conditions.
