Get your jackets ready! The Geminid meteor Shower is tonight. By far the best viewing is away from the lights of the cities. Take a quick drive East on Interstate 10 for 20 minutes to Desert Center. This is an excellent spot for dark, great viewing.

Many meteor showers tend to disappoint, but the annual Geminid shower is relatively reliable. And this year’s version, which peaks tonight, is expected to be a great one.Meteors could start showing up anytime after dark this evening, Dec. 13, low on the eastern horizon. A better display should begin after 10 p.m. or so, when the constellation Gemini, from which the meteors emanate, rises higher into the Eastern sky.By 2 a.m. Friday, Dec. 14, Gemini is directly overhead, and meteors will streak outward in all directions like spokes on a wheel, weather permitting.
Forecasters predict one or two shooting stars per minute during the peak hours.
