How to watch the Geminid meteor shower

1

Geminid meteor shower

The Geminid meteor shower, an annual celestial spectacle, is set to peak on December 14 and it will be visible in India.

2

Meteors

The Geminids are bright and fast meteors, with a speed of 35km/s, per NASA. Under ideal viewing conditions, up to 120 meteors can be seen per hour.

3

Origin

Unlike other meteor showers which are caused due to comets, Geminids originate from an asteroid, namely 3200 Phaethon.

4

Radiant

The radiant or the point in the sky from which the Geminids seem to originate is the constellation Gemini. This is also where the meteor shower gets its name from.

5

Destiny mission

Japan's upcoming DESTINY+ mission in 2025 will study 3200 Phaethon and its cosmic dust for more insights.

6

Viewing tips

For the best view of the Geminids, choose a dark location away from light pollution. The best time for catching the shooting stars will be post 10pm.
