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.

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.

The annual Leonid meteor shower peaks on Nov. 17, 2024, but a bright moon just two days past full will make viewing this year's Leonids difficult.

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.
