The Geminids: How to Watch the Biggest Meteor Shower of the Year

Esha Sarai

   WASHINGTON - Every December, the Geminids meteor shower can be seen
   around the world.

   This year, though, a few conditions may make it extra special.

   The U.S. space agency, NASA, is predicting stargazers across the globe
   [1]will be able to see as many as 150 meteors per hour, or about two
   per minute, early Monday morning, the peak time for the Geminids this
   year.

   The meteor showers also are occurring during a new moon phase, which
   means a moonless night, making it easier to see meteors as they pass
   through the sky.
