India, Dec. 13 -- For many sky watchers and star gazers, the Geminids are the one annual shower they can count on witnessing without special equipment. The meteor shower is expected to reach its peak this weekend, and its strongest activity is forecast on the nights of December 12 and 13, according to Time.

The annual event, which takes place in December every year, is known for producing bright, fast-moving meteors and a higher-than-average number of visible streaks.

If weather conditions help, viewers may see increased activity beginning in the evening hours.

According to Time, the Geminids begin each year in mid-November and are active for several weeks. The peak occurs over a much shorter window in mid-December.
