The waning moon will block the view of many of the fainter meteors this year, but the Geminids are so numerous and bright that the show will be just as remarkable. The best way to watch the rain is from a dark place after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Gemini, but they can appear anywhere in the sky.
