Catch the Geminid Meteor Shower's Peak Tonight

The Geminid meteor shower, considered one of the best annual meteor showers, peaks on the night of December 13-14, with potential viewing rates of 30-40 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. However, this year's nearly full moon and possible cloud cover may reduce visibility to 10-20 meteors per hour. The Geminids originate from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, and unlike most meteor showers caused by comets, they are known for their bright, slow-moving meteors. Optimal viewing occurs in dark, clear skies, with the radiant point near the star Castor in Gemini.
