The Geminid meteor shower could feature up to 140 shooting stars per hour between Sunday evening and Monday morning. The best time period for those in the Northern hemisphere is between 1 p.m. and 3 a.m. on Monday.
According to the National Geographic News blog:
Late Sunday night is the peak of the year’s most prolific annual cosmic fireworks show—the Geminid meteor shower.
The meteor shower has been growing in intensity in recent decades and should be an even better holiday treat than usual this year, since it’s falling in a nearly moonless week.
