Silhouetted figures stand in awe against a breathtaking night sky, gazing at a crescent moon and distant stars. The Geminid meteor shower is expected to peak tonight, offering a celestial spectacle for those in northerly locations. Mars and Mercury can be seen near the southwestern horizon at sunset, and the first quarter moon will set around midnight.
