Geminids Meteor Shower
The Geminids Meteor Shower is an annual celestial event that occurs every December. It is known for producing bright and colorful meteors, with rates of up to 120 meteors per hour at its peak. The shower is caused by the Earth passing through debris left by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
The best time to view the Geminids is usually around midnight, when the sky is darkest. Observers can see meteors radiating from the constellation Gemini, which gives the shower its name. Clear skies and minimal light pollution enhance the viewing experience, making it a favorite among stargazers.
