Geminids meteor shower peaks tonight: where and when to see shooting stars light up the December skies

Catch the spectacular show around midnight, when the Geminids will leave shimmering trails of vivid yellow, purple, and green in the night sky.

There is a lot going on today. It’s Friday the 13th, Taylor Swift’s birthday, and a great time to look up, especially in the hours leading up to and around midnight when a spectacular Geminids meteor shower will light up the sky. (That’s not to be confused with the mysterious drones flying over New Jersey.)
