The 2012 Geminid shower comes on strong
around December 12 and 13 every year. In
a moon-free sky, you could possibly see as
many as 50 meteors per hour in the wee
hours after midnight. Fortunately, the new
moon guarantees dark skies for the peak
nights of the December 2012 Geminid
shower. If the forecast holds, the Geminids
will be falling most richly on the night of
December 13, though the nights of
December 12 and 14 should also be good.
