The 'Geminids' is the best meteor shower of the year and can produce up to 150 meteors every hour
Irish stargazers are in for some spectacular vistas as the Geminid meteor shower is set to light up the night sky over the coming days.
"With the Full Moon in the sky the fainter meteors will be drowned out but this, the best meteor shower of the year, is known for producing many bright fireballs!" said David Moore, Editor of Astronomy Ireland Magazine. The best time to catch the display is around 2am because its radiant point – the point in our sky from which the meteors seem to radiate – is highest in the sky at that time, but it can be seen as early as 9-10pm.
You should fill your field of vision with sky. This may involve craning your neck back so you can barely see the horizon at the bottom of your field of vision. A deck chair or sun lounger is ideal for this, or even a blanket on the ground.
