Star gazers will have a treat in store as the Geminid meteor showers make their appearance again, starting now through December 17. The Geminid meteor shower will peak Sunday, December 13, into the early morning hours of Monday, December 14, and again Monday night into early Tuesday morning, December 15. The shower that appears to emanate from the constellation Geminiâwhich is above and to the left of Orionâcould deliver up to 120 shooting stars per hour about 2 a.m. They are some of the brightest meteors youâll see all year long, and viewing conditions are expected to be almost ideal, with a waxing crescent moon that sets in the early evening. Reporting for Z107.7, this is Sara Snyder.
