The Geminids will light up the night sky Monday night into Tuesday morning, and NASA calls this shower"one of the best and most reliable" for its bright, fast and abundant meteors. At its peak at 2 a.m, wherever you are, the shower can produce more than 50 meteors per hour, according to EarthSky. However, dark skies are optimal for viewing meteor showers and the moon will be approximately 77% lit during the peak, so the meteors could be difficult to spot.
