Geminid Meteor Shower: A Spectacular Sky Show Tonight

The annual Geminid meteor shower is set to peak tonight, offering one of the best viewing opportunities in years for Minnesota. With clear skies and a 1 percent illuminated moon, conditions are ideal for observing the shower, which can produce up to 120 visible meteors per hour. Geminid meteors are known for their brightness and can display various colors due to their chemical composition. The best viewing is away from city lights, with the northeastern sky being a favorable direction. Bundle up and enjoy the show!
