The meteor shower peak is expected to be Thursday night-Friday morning this week around midnight to 2am. The entire northern hemisphere can see it best if you get away from the city lights to a darker sky location. If you stay in the city you will only be able to see the bigger and brighter ones. Meteor showers last for days and when the experts talk about the expected peak that doesnt mean that it is done and over. Go out and look up. Be patient. They are usually measured in meteors per hour and this one is expected to be pretty active.

The Geminid Meteors are usually the most satisfying of all the annual showers, even surpassing the famous Perseids of August.

The Geminids get their name from the constellation of Gemini, the Twins, because the meteors appear to emanate from a spot in the sky near the bright star Castor in Gemini.

Also in Gemini this month is the planet Mars, nearing a close approach to the Earth later this month, and shining brilliantly with yellow-orange hue. To be sure, Mars is certain to attract the attention of prospective Geminid watchers this upcoming week
