Geminids Meteor Shower

The Geminids meteor shower will occur tonight and is the final major meteor shower of the year and it’s also one of the most eye-catching and easy to see.

The best time to observe will be was between 12:00am – 04:30am early morning of 14th December.

I will have my tripod and camera setup to hopefully capture some of the cosmic spectacle.

More information here.

NOTE: Unfortunately, due to a thick fog that settled late in the night I was not able to see anything.

    I'm wondering what is the best time to view this shower where I am located at Victoria, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. I would really like to catch this as it is my constellation (Gemini). Thanks for your reply and I appreciate it.

    Hi Shiham,

    Unfortunately a very thick fog settled all around the area I am staying. I could barely make out the moon. It was quite a disappointment.
    Did you manage to see the shower?

    Yes a total lunar eclipse is due. Should be fun.
