Don’t let the moon stop you from seeing shooting stars.
One of the best meteor showers of the year is about to peak, sparking shooting stars into the chilly December sky. It's considered one of the best meteor showers of the year because the meteors are bright and plentiful.
The Geminid meteor shower peaks tonight, Thursday, Dec. 12, into the early hours of Friday, Dec. 13. Most years, it boasts up to 120 meteors per hour; however, a nearly full moon will outshine many of the dimmer meteors in 2024.
