The meteor shower that NASA calls “one of the best and most reliable” of the year is continuing this weekend, but it will have to compete with the moon.

The Geminid meteor shower peaks early Saturday morning, expected to reach 120 meteors an hour. Because of the bright moon, though, it’s likely that viewers won’t see more than about 20 an hour.
