Geminids 2026

The Geminids peak on the night of Sunday, December 13. The best hour depends on where you are, so pick your city below.

The Geminids are active from early to mid December. The meteors are debris from asteroid 3200 Phaethon and hit the atmosphere at about 35 km per second. At the peak, a perfectly dark sky with the radiant overhead would show about 150 an hour. Real counts are lower.
