TL;DR

The Geminid meteor shower, originating from the asteroid Phaethon, is set to peak on December 13-14, offering up to 150 meteors per hour. However, viewing in Massachusetts may be hindered by a bright waxing gibbous moon and cloudy skies. The best time to observe is at 2 a.m. on December 14, ideally from a dark location away from light pollution.
