The Geminids — the year's best, last and least talked about multicolored meteor shower — has started and could see up to 150 "shooting stars" in an hour in December.

Leonid meteors are visible in the night sky from early November to early December. This weekend, the ongoing meteor shower reaches its maximum intensity, with a peak Sunday night into early Monday.

The Geminid meteor shower begins Tuesday as one of the year's best meteor showers. The Geminids start in mid-November and run through Christmas Eve. Peak activity happens Dec. 13 and 14, when 120 meteors per hour are possible under the right conditions.

It's a treat to see a supermoon. But that bright glowing orb will still be almost full when the Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend, likely obscuring all but the brightest meteors in most locations.

When the Leonids fly across the sky, stargazers know that the comet 55P/Tempel-Tuttle is nearby. Every year, the iconic meteor shower offers a spectacular show… and experts say this weekend is going to be particularly special.

The next major meteor shower will begin on the same day that the Leonids disappear from the skies, with the Geminids peaking on 12 December. The last supermoon of 2024, known as the beaver moon, was captured in stunning photos on Nov. 14. Stargazers have a chance to view it at its peak illumination on Nov. 15.

Stargazers in Pennsylvania are in for a celestial treat as the Leonid meteor shower lights up the night sky, EarthSky reports. The annual meteor display is expected to peak late tonight, Saturday, Nov.
