Planet Earth is passing through a significant space debris field this month known as the Geminid meteor shower with part of it entering the planet's atmosphere to appear as “shooting stars” in the night sky. The maximum peak of the meteor shower is expected December 13, 2008. More from StarDate and Space Weather. A viewer that can block the Moon glow may usually expect to see around 50-80 meteors per hour at peak, and under ideal conditions.
