Watch Up To 100 Meteors Per Hour In The First Meteor Shower Of 2020, Visible From New Jersey
The new year (and new decade) is quickly approaching and I want to kick it off in a wonderful way. A fun or relaxing (your choice!) New Year’s Eve is a great start but I’m looking for something extra special. That may just be this meteor shower – a beautiful free show in the night sky. Read on for all the delightful details.

A meteor shower is a striking celestial event in which a number of meteors are observed to radiate from one point in the night sky.

The meteor shower will be visible from December 27 - January 10, with the most meteors per hour on January 3 and 4.

You can expect 15-25 meteors per hour but 50 or more per hour have been observed in the past.

The waxing gibbous moon will set long before dawn, meaning dark skies around 3 a.m. when the shower peaks. This improves your chances of spotting a meteor.
Head somewhere dark (or as dark as possible), bundle up and bring a hot beverage. Have a little watch party with friends and make a wish! What will you be wishing for?
