The moon is going to cooperate this year, which means we should be able to witness the Geminids, one of the brightest and most numerous meteor showers of the year, at their best.

The Geminids first began appearing in the mid-1800s. They are bright, so they're often easier to see than other meteors, NASA explained.

Michigan Storm Chasers said the meteorite was part of the Geminids meteor shower visible this week and that the object broke apart over the area between Traverse City and Gaylord.
