@abcnews: The Geminid meteor shower, one of the most dramatic astronomical events of the year, is scheduled to peak this weekend. It's considered one of the "best and most reliable" annual meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, due to the dependable arrival of bold shooting stars every year in mid-December, according to NASA. It is also one of the most active meteor showers. Under a dark sky with no moon, up to 120 meteors per hour could potentially be seen streaking across the sky, according to EarthSky.org. The event is also considered one of the best opportunities for young viewers, since shootings stars can start to appear around 9 or 10 p.m. Of course, experts recommend getting as far away from city lights as possible to get the best view. #abcnews#science #space #geminids #meteorshower
