The Geminids meteor shower peaks at the end of the week. Here's what to expect

A meteor burns up in the sky over al-Abrak desert north of Kuwait City during the annual Geminid meteor shower early on Dec. 15, 2023.

The Geminids are one of the best and most visible annual meteor showers, when at least 120 meteors can usually be seen per hour. But 2024 will be different, thanks to the year's final full moon.
