Geminid Meteor Shower — Peak
The year’s most reliable shower radiates from Gemini.
When & where to look
Radiant rises9:18 PMNortheast horizon
Peak rates1:48 AM70° elevation
Dawn interferes6:18 AMEnters shadow / sets
The Geminids reach their peak tonight, with rates up to 120 meteors per hour under dark skies. The radiant climbs high in the northeast after midnight, but meteors can appear anywhere — bright, medium-speed streaks, occasionally leaving glowing trains.
Field notes
- 01Lie back and take in as much sky as possible — don’t stare at the radiant.
- 02No equipment needed; telescopes and binoculars only shrink your view.
- 03Best rates come after midnight, when your location faces into the stream.
