The shower forms from the debris of an asteroid and peaks this weekend. But a nearly full moon could interfere with viewing.

While the Geminid shower is expected to be most visible in Indianapolis, Saturday, the days before and after the peak activity might also be good for spectators to look for the meteors, though an almost-full moon may compete with the bright fireballs, according to Earth Sky.

The Geminid meteor shower, which NASA calls one of the "best meteor showers of the year," is expected to peak Friday and Saturday. The big picture: The shower appears around mid-December each year as Earth passes through the debris left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
