The Geminids meteors are often bold, white and bright. On a dark night, you can often catch 50 or more meteors per hour in a dark, moonless sky.  These meteors are sure to dazzle brighter than the holiday lights.

The greatest number of meteors typically fall in the wee hours after midnight.  Astronomers and telescopes will also be available earlier in the evening to view the dark skies.
