What Makes The Geminid Meteor Shower So Special

The Geminid meteor shower is not just another celestial event but a real star in the sky. It is not like most meteor showers that originate from icy comets; the Geminids come from a rocky asteroid named 3200 Phaethon, which has been given the nickname of “rock comet” by scientists.

Each December, our planet passes through the path of its debris and, in an instant, the small space rocks catch fire and become bright streaks of light. The meteors are brilliant, very slow, and even with a little moonlight, they are often visible.

Imagine it: there are yellow, green, blue, and white shooting stars darting across the sky, sometimes as many as 100 to 120 in just an hour! Whether you are a watching-the-sky-once-a-year person or a hardcore astronomer, the Geminids will still give you the most stunning, dependable, and unforgettable sky spectacle of the year. So don’t ever close your eyes; you might just miss one!
