In years with good conditions and little cloud cover, the Geminids can be one of the best sky shows of the year with up to 120 meteors visible in a single hour. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"G4LFFAJQ2JCAFCT4SUIYO4UAMA\">That probably won\u2019t be the case this year. This weekend\u2019s full moon will make the Geminids seem fainter. But you should still be able to see the brightest streaks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"SMD4ITRPM5H2LOLDHSCZ2ZXGJA\">And they\u2019ll hang around until Christmas Eve, their numbers dropping a bit every night between now and Dec. 24.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"BZXOZ46EZBHVLK7VJXQSTVYHD4\">NASA bloggers gave a shout-out to the Geminids this week: \u201cThis year, the nearly full Moon will wash out the fainter meteors on the peak night. Still, the Geminids are known for bright meteors, and it\u2019s common to spot their shooting stars up to a week before the peak. If you\u2019re up before dawn that week, it\u2019s worth looking up, just in case you spot a speck of dust from space streaking through the morning sky.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"article__paragraph article__paragraph--left\" id=\"5JMYJ7YEZRDQ7HI3B32JL4NGSE\">Are you a night owl?
