The Geminid meteor shower will be peaking this weekend. It is considered one of the more active meteor showers, depending on viewing conditions.

The American Meteor Society notes that the Geminids are often bright and intensely colored. Under ideal circumstances, you may be able to view 60 to 150 meteors per hour.

Unfortunately, if you live in the California Central Valley, you will have to drive to a higher elevation as the Valley will be socked in with fog all night.

If you find a clear spot, it should be good viewing this year as the moon is just a crescent, so look to the east after 9 p.m.
