The Geminid meteor shower, which gets its name from Gemini–the constellation it appears to originate from–will be the brightest Saturday night into Sunday morning.

The meteor shower will originate in the eastern skies, and the shower will be brightest at about 2 a.m. local time, according to Wired.

Viewing the shower live online is available beginning today at 8 p.m. EST from The Slooh Community Observatory.

But if you live in the south or southwestern U.S., watching it while standing outside away from light pollution is best because they are bright enough to be seen even with moonlight.

NASA said the Geminid meteors are known to increase in number during late evening and overnight hours, according to wdbj7.com.

The reason is because as the Earth is in orbit, the rotation runs into the path of the meteor stream, so it appears to meet the shower head-on.

Typically, meteor showers originate from the Earth passing through a path of debris left by a comet. But the Geminids originate from a three-mile wide object, which appears to be an asteroid with a tail like a comet.

It was discovered in 1983 and, at the time, appeared to be like any other asteroid. But NASA's STEREO spacecraft has revealed over the past few years that it is a mix. It is now called a rocket comet.

Accuweather reports that the best viewing spots are going to be in the southeast or southwest U.S. with a small sliver of good viewing positions running along a portion of the western U.S. into Canada. Most of the east coast is also going to have great views of the shower.

Poor viewing positions include almost the entire Midwest, and fair conditions can be seen along the coast in the Northeast.

The entire western coast will be unable to view the meteor showers well.
