"Your Guide to Watching the Spectacular Geminid Meteor Shower"

The Geminid meteor shower, one of the year's most illuminating meteor showers, will reach its peak at about 19:00 GMT on Thursday and remain intermittently visible until December 24. Skywatchers can observe the shower directly or watch a livestream hosted by telescope networks. The best time to watch the shower is between midnight and 2am local time, in any time zone. The Geminids could shoot 120 visible meteors every hour, making it the strongest shower of the year. The shower will be visible throughout the sky in no particular direction, and the further away one is from light pollution, the more likely they are to see the shower in all its fierceness.
