Geminids Meteor Shower

The Geminids meteor shower will be putting on a show Sunday nite. Hope the weather is clear! If you miss it on Sunday, you should be able to see meteors until around Dec. 18, but not at the expected quantity of meteors on Sunday. 120 to 160 meteors per hour. Should be able to see a bunch at that rate. Go outside around 11 pm Central Time. Look anywhere in the sky. The constellation Gemini should be almost straight overhead. The meteors appear to come from that constellation. If you know where the constellation Orion is located, look for Gemini slightly north and east of the Orion.
