This year's Geminid shower will peak on the night of Dec. 13-14. Skywatchers normally can expect to see 60-70 meteors per hour at the peak. The Geminids are slower and brighter than many other meteors, making them easier to spot before they vanish. The waning crescent moon will not interfere, but city lights will overwhelm the fainter meteors, so try to get away from artificial lights if you can. The most meteor activity will be after midnight local time, though some meteors will begin to appear as soon as the sky is completely dark.
