Under ideal conditions, with a dark sky and no moonlight, you might see up to 120 Geminid meteors per hour. The best way to view the meteor shower is to find a location away from city lights, allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for about 15 minutes, and then lie down to get a full view of the sky.The Geminid meteor shower occurs annually between November 19 and December 24, and this year's peak nights are December 13 and December 14. The meteors will appear to radiate from the constellation Gemini, but they can be seen across the entire sky.For those in metro Phoenix, the Geminids will be highly visible, especially during the peak hours. It's recommended to step outside into the dark and allow your eyes to adjust for the best viewing experience.
