The Gemini Meteor Shower is an annual celestial event that occurs every December. It is named after the constellation Gemini, where the meteors appear to originate. The shower typically peaks around December 13-14, producing around 120 meteors per hour under optimal conditions. These meteors are caused by the Earth passing through the debris left by the 3200 Phaethon asteroid. As the tiny particles enter the Earth's atmosphere, they burn up, creating bright streaks of light in the night sky. The Gemini Meteor Shower is known for its bright and colorful meteors, making it a popular event for stargazers.
