The Geminid meteor shower, which is the annual bright pearl, is the most brilliant fireworks in the winter night sky. It peaks on December 13 and 14 every year, although meteors start dancing in the night sky from December 4 to 17. In the year of meteor abundance, when this feast reaches its climax, you can even witness more than 100 meteors piercing the sky every hour. 
The moonlight is soft, the sky is deep, and as far as your eyes can see, meteors are falling like a drizzle. The best way to see the Geminid meteor shower is to the east or southeast, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and find a dark night with a wide view, such as the top of a mountain, on the banks of rivers and lakes. The Geminid meteor shower is like a punctual old friend, arriving every year as scheduled, from evening to dawn, Gemini is like a guardian in the sky, accompanying us through the long night. The best time to see it is just after night and when the moon rises, when the stars of Gemini shine on the horizon in the east or northeast. Winter nights are cold, but the sky full of meteors will bring you endless warmth. Just be patient and those meteor swarms will bloom before your eyes. These meteor showers are caused by swarms of dust particles (meteoroids) in space that fall into the atmosphere due to the gravitational pull of the Earth. And the Geminid meteor shower is a gift from the asteroid Phaethon. Every year, this asteroid meets us, and its fragments fall like snowflakes and burn into bright meteors in the night sky. 
The speed of this meteor shower is just right, not too fast and not too slow. From December every year, we can enjoy its beauty. And its radiant points meet near the constellation Gemini, forming a beautiful pattern. The trajectories of these meteors seem to draw a brilliant picture in the night sky. In the Northern Hemisphere, the radiant rises shortly after sunset, so you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Geminid meteor shower from early evening until the early hours of the morning. In the Southern Hemisphere, radiants appear at midnight. This allows observers in the Northern Hemisphere to see more of the meteor's trajectory. 
Most of these meteors are pale yellow in color, like the warm winter sun. In the Northern Hemisphere, north of the equator, observers can enjoy this visual feast earlier because the radiant rises earlier. Observers in the Southern Hemisphere can see a larger number of meteors at midnight. The Geminid meteor shower has a moderate velocity of about 35 kilometers per second, making it easier to observe. It is also recognized as the "most stable meteor shower of the year". However, the only regret is that the weather conditions in the winter may not be ideal. But with patience and determination, the Geminid meteor shower is sure to give you an unforgettable viewing experience.
