The Geminid meteor shower will light up the skies with shooting stars this weekend. It ties with the August Perseids as the most prolific of the year.

The meteor shower, considered by NASA as the “most reliable” annual shower, tends to release green and yellow colors in the night sky.

December isn’t just about the holidays — it’s also the time of year we get to enjoy what is often touted as one of the best meteor showers of the year: the Geminids.
