The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Oslo around Dec 13-14, with up to 120 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a thin crescent moon leaves mostly dark skies, and from Oslo the radiant in Gemini climbs to 62° above the south horizon around 02:20. Local best viewing window: 20:00–06:25 CET on the peak night, about 10.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 106 meteors an hour from Oslo under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: clear skies forecast, so a dark site is worth the drive.
