The Geminid meteor showers will peak on December 13 and 14 (Credit: Asim Patel/ CC BY-SA 3.0/ Wikimedia Commons)

Sky watchers are treated to over thirty meteor showers throughout the year. However, most pale in comparison to the Geminids. Nicknamed the "900-pound gorilla of meteor showers" by NASA, they outweigh other dust streams by factors of between 5 to 500! The "shooting stars" have been active since December 4 and will continue until December 17, 2022. But their best showing will be on the night of December 13 into the morning of December 14, 2022, when up to 120 meteors will be flying through the sky every hour.

                  aw man, I completely missed the shooting stars due to rain, but I think it would be so cool to see a speedway of stars.

                  I saw it last night, it was awesome!!! I also saw a shooting star that looked a little different compared to all the others, it was a little bigger and it looked like it was on fire, but I can't tell if it was Phaethon or a normal meteor.
