Description
The Geminid meteor shower is the most active of all the meteor showers, producing about 120 meteors per hour, but weather conditions often make it one of the less appealing for skywatchers.
The peak of the shower is in the middle of December when winter storms can frequently block the view with cloud cover or bring frigid sub-zero temperatures, making it uncomfortable to sit outside during the overnight hours.
This year's peak will be on Thursday, just as a winter storm clears out of the state, meaning most Coloradans will get a good view.
