Where to see the Geminids meteor shower
Dec 13, 2017, 2:39 PM
Clear skies over Seattle mean you might be able to catch a glimpse of the Geminids meteor shower Wednesday night.
According to Space.com, the best time to look up is 2 a.m. local time, but you might start seeing meteors as early as 9-10 p.m.
To find the sweet spot, Space.com recommends finding Gemini, for which the meteors are named after, in the constellation Orion. Scan just to the left of Orion. The meteors will look like they’re streaming away from Gemini, but Space.com says you’ll see them and their tails streaking across the night sky the farther out you look.
Star gazers recommend finding a spot with little light from the city and giving your eyes 20-30 minutes to adjust to the dark.
