Geminid Meteor Shower

Last night, NASA's network of all sky meteor cameras reported 23 Geminid fireballs over the US.
This sharp uptick in activity signals the official beginning of the 2013 Geminid meteor shower.  For the next 3 to 4 days, the earth will pass through a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon, producing dozens of meteors per hour flying out of the constellation Gemini.

Peak rates could reach 120 meteors per hour on Dec. 13th & 14th.
The best time to view the shower would be the hours just before sunrise on Saturday, Dec.14th.
