The Geminid meteor shower can produce up to 50 meteors an hour during the peak dates of Dec. 13-14 in a typical year.

If you missed the Geminid meteor shower over the weekend, you’ll have a chance to catch it next year.

Mid-December every year brings us the chance to see plenty of shooting stars as the spectacular and unique Geminid meteor shower reaches its peak.

Shyam Balaji, researcher in astroparticle physics and cosmology at King's College London, says: "The best time to view the Geminid meteor shower is around 2am local time. However, you can start watching from mid-evening onwards."

Try later in the week or perhaps wait until the Geminids in December, although for the Geminid peak this year, an even more ominous full Moon threatens.
