The December skies will be filled with lots of shows including the Geminid meteor shower
which starts the night of December 4.
The Geminids will peak overnight between December 13 and 14.
Look up tonight and you may see the annual Geminid meteor shower which will last through the 17th. NASA says this year’s show in space will be brighter because it coincides with a nearly new moon, making the skies even darker.
The Geminids arrives each year as the Earth plows through the debris left in the orbit of an asteroid known as Phaethon or what NASA says could actually be a burnt-out comet. For the best view find a spot away from bright city lights and then just look up. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.
You can catch another show on December 21 when Jupiter and Saturn appear so close they will seem to be “one” in the night sky. They won’t make this great conjunction again until 2080.
