The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Vienna 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 Vienna the radiant in Gemini climbs to 74° above the south horizon around 01:55. Local best viewing window: 20:10–05:40 CET on the peak night, about 9.5 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 115 meteors an hour from Vienna under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mixed cloud, so clear spells come and go.
