Geminids Meteor Shower Peaks with Optimal Viewing Conditions in South Carolina
The Geminids meteor shower, known for being one of the most active meteor showers of the year, is peaking tonight. Originating from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, the Geminids can produce over 200 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. This year, the shower benefits from a waning crescent moon, which minimizes light interference, enhancing visibility. The meteor shower is expected to be visible throughout the night, offering ample opportunity for stargazers. In South Carolina, a cold front is expected to clear the skies from Sunday night through Wednesday, providing clear conditions for viewing. However, temperatures are predicted to be very cold, with lows dropping to 8 degrees in the Midlands and between 29 and 40 degrees along the coast.
