In 2024, the conditions to observe the Epsilon Geminids are bad. The meteor shower will peak two days after the Full Moon, so the moonlight will significantly hinder the observations.
In comparison to the Geminids in December, the ฮต-Geminids (Epsilon Geminids) are way less entertaining. With only a couple of meteors visible per hour, they're not worthy of going outside during the night, especially if it's cold there. However, the ฮต-Geminids are a nice addition to the Orionid meteors in general, as they peak at around the same time.
