Gemenid meteor shower to rain down early Sunday

A break between storms may allow for primetime star gazing early Sunday morning.

The annual flurry of flaming space rocks known as the Geminid Meteor Shower is one of the best of the year, raining down as many as 120 meteors per hour at its peak.

Best viewing of the meteor shower is away from a city, where there are fewer lights. It takes about 20 minutes for a person's eyes to adjust to the dark skies.

The meteor show can best be seen between midnight and 2 a.m. Sunday.
