The typically reliable Geminid meteor shower will peak this weekend. There will be some windows of opportunity for good viewing, but unfortunately much of the show will be seriously hindered by moonlight.

A bright gibbous Moon will have already come over the east-northeast horizon by 10 p.m. on Saturday evening, Dec. 13 for most locations and will light up the sky through the rest of the overnight hours. This moonlight will overpower many of the shooting stars associated with one of the best annual meteor displays presently visible from Earth.

For those willing to brave the chill, the Geminids are typically a fine winter shower, and usually the most satisfying of all the annual showers, even surpassing the August Perseids.

"If you have not seen a mighty Geminid fireball arcing gracefully across an expanse of sky, then you have not seen a meteor," write astronomers David Levy and Stephen Edberg.

The Geminids stand apart from other meteor showers in another way: The meteors seem to have been spawned not by a comet, but by 3200 Phaeton, an asteroid that crosses the orbit of Earth. Then again, the Geminids may be comet debris after all, for some astronomers consider Phaeton to really be the dead nucleus of a burned-out comet that somehow got trapped into an unusually tight orbit.
