Geminid Meteor Shower: Space enthusiasts can witness the spectacular Geminid meteor shower on December 14 and 15 across the country. The shower, caused by the Palladian asteroid 3200 Phaethon, is expected to have 100 to 130 meteors per hour between 1 am and 3 am. In addition, a new meteor shower associated with comet 46P/Wirtanen is also expected.
One of the key factors contributing to the excitement of watching the Geminid meteor shower is the absence of moonlight during the shower s peak. With the Moon in its new phase, the sky will remain exceptionally dark, providing optimal conditions for meteor watching, according to NASA. This rare alignment promises a breathtaking view of the Geminids as they streak across the night sky.
