One of the most flamboyant meteor showers will rain shooting stars Sunday night, lighting up the night sky for up to 2 seconds at a time.
And lucky for everyone, the Geminid meteor shower will be visible in both the northern and southern hemispheres, NASA said. Many of the bright arcs can be seen for 1-2 seconds each.
"The Geminids started out as a relatively weak meteor shower when first discovered in the early 19th century," NASA said. "Over time, it has grown into the strongest annual shower, with theoretical rates above 120 meteors per hour."
