To sky watchers, he recommends having a “meteor night” after sunset on Dec. 13th, when the criss-crossing debris streams could produce the greatest combined number of shooting stars. “Meteors from the new shower (if any) will be visible in the early evening, with the Geminids making their appearance later on and lasting until dawn,” he says.

[The Geminids are] one of the few showers that you don’t need to get up at “oh-dark-thirty” to view; the best viewing time should be between 10:00 pm on the 13th and around 2:00 am on the 14th. A single observer in a dark location can expect to see up to 50 meteors per hour, while urban skywatchers may see 25 to 30 per hour. The Geminids are much slower than the Perseids, and brighter ones will travel across a good swath of sky before they burn out, often leaving a faint smoke train from their passage.
