Last good Geminid meteor shower may fade after 2004
Observers should watch the Geminid meteor shower on Friday night as it peaks around 2 a.m. with 120 to 150 meteors per hour. The shower radiates from Gemini near Pollux and Castor, aided by a moonset that clears skies. Dust from the dormant comet 3200 Phaethon fuels the display, and viewing away from city lights from a warm, open site yields best results.
