Geminid Meteor Shower To Light Up Skies

The year's most intense meteor shower is set to peak late on Friday night with Nasa predicting between 100-120 meteors per hour.

The annual Geminid shower can be seen from almost any point on Earth and astronomers say the best time to see the action is between midnight and sunrise on December 14.

"Of all the debris streams Earth passes through every year, the Geminids' is by far the most massive," said Nasa astronomer Bill Cooke.
