Star light, star bright, first star I see Tuesday night.

Thousands of meteors are expected to shoot across the sky this week as part of one of the biggest meteor showers of the year.

The annual Gemininds meteor shower is known to be one of the most consistent and reliable meteor showers of the year.

The astronomical event showers over 100 meteors per hour across the sky when spotted from dark locations.

The Geminids could feature meteors of various colors, but the brightest ones are most commonly seen as green streaks.

The Germinids have been active since Dec. 4 and are expected to continue through Dec. 17.

The meteors will be visible in New York City around 5:32 p.m. each night.

The dazzling show will peak over New York City Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.

Moonlight may wash out some of the weaker meteors, so the shooting stars should be most visible in the hours just before dawn Wednesday.

After Wednesday, the light show will likely be quite visible around 2 a.m. Thursday when the radiant point will be at its highest.

The best way to catch the show is to make sure that your cozy viewing spot is facing the shower’s radiant point.

The radiant point of the Geminids is found in the constellation of Gemini, in the northern celestial hemisphere.

More stars will be visible when facing the radiant point as it rises above the horizon.

The Geminids will be visible with the naked eye, meaning wanna-be astronomers can simply step outside, but a telescope or binoculars are sure to enhance the view.
