The Geminid meteor shower, reaching its peak this weekend, is considered the year's most spectacular meteor display with up to 150 meteors visible per hour.
Professor Don Pollacco emphasizes that despite a near full moon obscuring some meteors, it's always worth watching the Geminids if weather conditions are favorable.
Dr. Shyam Balaji advises viewers to look towards the constellation Gemini for the best chance of spotting the meteors, particularly near the bright star Castor.
For UK stargazers, the best viewing of the Geminids occurs in the South, high in the sky, especially in the early hours of Sunday.
