TL;DR

The Geminid meteor shower, one of the year's most spectacular, is active from November 19 to December 24, peaking on December 13-14. Despite a 90% illuminated moon, the bright meteors, originating from asteroid 3200 Phaetheon, may still be visible, especially around 2 a.m. local time. Best viewing is under dark skies, primarily in the northern hemisphere, though they can also be seen in the southern hemisphere.
