NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center: "Tonight is the peak of the Geminid meteor shower, but our eyes will actually be on the Moon. 🌝. . . we have a Lunar Impact Monitoring team. Typically, we spot about one lunar impact every two hours. But, during the Geminids, we could see one every 12 minutes! ☄️"
