The Geminids — the year's best, last and least talked about multicolored meteor shower — has started and could see up to 150 "shooting stars" in an hour in December.

The Leonid meteor shower is set to dazzle stargazers this weekend as it sends bright lights shooting across the night sky. It is one of the best opportunities of the year for people to admire passing meteors.

The reliable Leonid meteor shower peaks on Sunday night, offering a chance to see up to dozens of meteors per hour shooting across the night sky — if the weather doesn't get in the way.

Leonid meteors are visible in the night sky from early November to early December. This weekend, the ongoing meteor shower reaches its maximum intensity, with a peak Sunday night into early Monday.

The November supermoon will still be almost full when the Leonid meteor shower peaks this weekend. Astronomers say the moonlight will likely obscure all but the brightest meteors in most locations.

The Geminid meteor shower begins Tuesday as one of the year's best meteor showers. The Geminids start in mid-November and run through Christmas Eve. Peak activity happens Dec. 13 and 14, when 120 meteors per hour are possible under the right conditions.

Stargazers in Pennsylvania are in for a celestial treat as the Leonid meteor shower lights up the night sky, EarthSky reports. The annual meteor display is expected to peak late tonight, Saturday, Nov.
