As you hang holiday lights and light the candles, cast your gaze upon the universe's natural fireworks.
On Dec. 13 the Geminid Meteor Shower is expected to begin.
Be sure to schedule a night this season to bundle up, lay out some blankets and enjoy the light show in the sky.

On Dec. 13 the Geminid Meteor Shower is expected to begin.
- The last shooting star cluster before New Year's is the Geminid Meteor Shower, expected to peak in the pre-dawn hours after midnight between Dec. 13 and Dec. 15. Meteors will be visible in all parts of the sky and streak through the sky at more than 50 meteors per hour, or almost a meteor a minute, according to EarthSky.com. The new moon is expected to fall on Dec. 13, making for optimal dark skies -- as long as you avoid city lights and clouds, the website states.
Be sure to schedule a night this season to bundle up, lay out some blankets and enjoy the light show in the sky.
