December isn’t just about the holidays — it’s also the time of year we get to enjoy what is often touted as one of the best meteor showers of the year: the Geminids.

The Geminids — among the few major meteor showers to come from asteroids — peak on Friday. It's one of the year's last chances to see fireballs in the sky.

If you are not lucky enough to have the best conditions for viewing the Geminids at their peak, you should still be able to spot the odd shooting star into next week, and it is not long to wait until the next, and final. meteor shower of 2024 - the Ursids.
