SUMMARY:🌠 Geminids peak: great
DESCRIPTION:The Geminid meteor shower peaks on the night of 13–14 Decembe

  might count one every few minutes\; by midnight\, near one a minute if th
 e sky is clear and dark. Up to 150 an hour from a perfect dark sky (Americ
 an Meteor Society).

 m 10 pm you might count ten or more in an hour if the sky is dark. Up to 1
 00 an hour from a perfect dark sky (American Meteor Society).

DESCRIPTION:The Geminid meteor shower peaks on the night of 13–14 Decembe
 r 2027\, under a full Moon. Moonlight hides the faint meteors\, but the Ge

 es\; by midnight\, near one a minute if the sky is clear and dark. Up to 1
 50 an hour from a perfect dark sky (American Meteor Society).
