This week, the last of the meteor showers for 2012 will occur. It's looking to be a pretty good show since the moon will not be present (new moon). The best day for our hemisphere is Thursday, December 13. the show starts at 9pm with optimal viewing between 1am and 3am. If you can see the Big Dipper from where you are standing, chances are that you could see a meteor.
More info on this annual event can be found at the Windows to the Universe site: Geminid Meteor Shower
