Surely it’s only coincidence that the last Friday the 13th of 2024 coincides with the peak of the Geminids meteor shower and the beginning of a full moon, right? (Of course, it’s just fun to joke about). December is a fun month because it paves the way ...

There are three meteor showers left this year. Geminids will peak Dec. 13 and 14, producing up to 150 meteors per hour.

The Geminids—among the few major meteor showers to come from asteroids—peak on Friday. It's one of the year's last chances to see fireballs in the sky.
