πŸ“ Where and When to Look (Boston area)

You don’t need special equipment β€” just find a dark, open spot away from city 
lights, and let your eyes adjust to the dark for ~20 minutes. TIME

Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, so look up and scan broadly β€” they 
radiate from the direction of the Gemini constellation, but streaks go all 
over. American Meteor Society

Best times: late evening through early morning, with activity increasing after 
about 9 PM and especially near and after midnight. American Meteor Society

πŸ’‘ Tips for Boston:

Boston has light pollution that can make fainter meteors hard to see β€” 
traveling to a darker area (state parks, rural spots west of the city) will 
improve your chances. Patch

If tonight is cloudy, try again tomorrow night (Dec 13) when rates should be 
higher near the peak. American Meteor Society

In summary: Yes β€” the Geminids are active tonight, and you can see meteors over 
Boston if skies are clear, with the best views likely in the coming nights 
around the peak.
