Geminid meteors, which originate as dust particles burn up in Earth's atmosphere, are the streaks in this image.

In this episode, Dave Eicher invites you to observe the Geminid meteor shower, which will peak during the early morning hours of December 14. The best time to view them is after midnight, but you may see some in the evening hours as well. Get comfortable and look straight overhead for fast moving (and quickly disappearing) streaks of light. Good luck!
