The Geminids are considered the "best and most reliable annual meteor showers," according to NASA.

Mark your calendars and set your alarms because the Geminid meteor shower is upon us, expecting to peak during the late evening of Dec.

According to NASA, the Geminids are recognized as the "best and most reliable annual meteor showers." You can anticipate a starry night because they often exhibit 50 or more meteors per hour near their peak!

An optimum Geminid display could produce around 120 meteors per hour.

The Geminid shower flies from the Gemini constellation, also known as its radiant point.

because that's the time the constellation will be at its highest in the sky.

Even though the best viewing time is in the early morning, the Geminids are the "one major shower that provides good activity prior to midnight as the constellation of Gemini is well placed from 22:00 onward," reported the American Meteor Society.

Whether you're facing the constellation or have your back towards it, the showers can be viewed anywhere in the sky.
