The Geminids are usually the year's strongest shower at up to 120-150 meteors per hour, but the full Cold Moon falls on the same night in 2027, which will drown out all but the brightest meteors.

Best viewing tip

A tough year to see the Geminids well because of the same-night full Moon; watch for only the brightest fireballs.
