The Geminid meteor shower occurs annually in December and peaks this year on the night of December 13 into the morning of December 14.
This meteor shower is unusual because it comes from an asteroid, not a comet, as it originates from asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
The Geminids are notable for their high meteoric rates, typically producing up to 150 meteors per hour, making it one of the most prolific showers.
To view the Geminids effectively, find a dark area away from light pollution, let your eyes adjust, and use the naked eye for the best results.
