Skywatchers are in for a treat this weekend with the annual peak of the Geminid Meteor Shower December 14th. Viewers could see as many as 20 or so Geminids per hour, despite the full moonlight. The peak morning is likely to be Saturday, December 14, 2019, although some might be seen late Friday night and early Sunday morning. Even though you can see some meteors in the late evening, the best viewing is typically around 2AM. On a dark night, free of moonlight, viewers typically can easily spot 50 or more meteors per hour. On an optimum night for the Geminids, it’s possible to see 150 meteors per hour, but that won’t happen this year with the bright moonlight. More info
