Geminid meteor shower to peak on December 13-14

Technology Dec 04, 2025

Get ready for a sky show! The Geminid meteor shower is peaking on December 13 and 14, promising bright meteors thanks to extra-dark skies from a waning crescent moon.
Plus, if you look up earlier in the month, you can catch the last supermoon of the year on December 4.

How to catch the best view

The Geminids are pretty unique—they come from an asteroid (not a comet) called 3200 Phaethon and can light up the sky with as many as 120 meteors per hour at their best.
For an awesome view, head somewhere dark and clear after midnight on December 13, let your eyes adjust, and enjoy one of December's coolest night-sky moments.
