Forget holiday lights. Stargazers all over the globe will get the chance over the next night to witness one of the best meteor showers of the year, and viewing conditions promise to be close to ideal. <\/p>\n

The Geminid meteor showers light up the night sky every December, and this year they will reach their peak on Wednesday, Dec. 13, and run into the morning of Dec. 14. <\/p>\n

With the moon only a sliver full, the skies should be nice and dark, so weather permitting all you’ll need to see the Geminids is a blanket and a little patience. <\/p>\n
