Catch the Geminid Meteor Shower's Peak Online Tonight
The Geminid meteor shower, one of the brightest and most reliable meteor showers, peaks on December 13, 2024. For those unable to view it in person, astronomer Gianluca Masi will host a free livestream via the Virtual Telescope Project, starting at 6:00 p.m. EST. Despite a near-full moon potentially obscuring fainter meteors, viewers can expect around 15 meteors per hour. The Geminids are unique as they originate from asteroid 3200 Phaethon, rather than a comet. The livestream will be available on Space.com and the Virtual Telescope Project's platforms.
