December 13-14, 2026
Strongest shower of the year
The most dependable meteor shower of the year, and dark skies to match.
Bright and slow, the Geminids often outperform the Perseids. In 2026 an early-setting crescent moon leaves the peak sky dark. Dress warm, since the best rates come after midnight.
Peak rate: ~150 / hour
Where it is visible: Worldwide, best after midnight
One of the few showers that works from both hemispheres. Gemini rises high in the north and still clears the horizon well south of the equator.
