"Get Ready for the Spectacular Geminid Meteor Shower Tonight!"

The Geminid meteor shower, which occurs between November 19 to December 24, will peak on the nights of December 13 and 14 in 2023. This year is particularly favorable for viewing as it coincides with the new moon, allowing for up to 150 meteors per hour to be seen. The Geminids are unique as they are produced by an asteroid called Phaethon, and they appear to radiate from the Gemini constellation. To observe the shower, find a dark location, avoid using bright lights, and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness. The best time to view the Geminids is around 2 a.m. local time, and they can be seen from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
