"Stunning Meteor Showers Illuminate the Skies Across North America"

The Geminids meteor shower, known as the strongest and most reliable meteor shower of the year, will reach its peak on the night of December 13-14. This year, the shower coincides with a 1 percent full moon, providing optimal viewing conditions. Stargazers can expect to see bright, fast, and "gorgeously green" meteors at rates above one per minute. The Geminids are best observed around 2 a.m., and viewers should find a location with clear, dark skies away from light pollution.
