SKY EVENT indeed.

 

In 2020, the Geminids will peak on the night between 14–15 Dec

 

December Meteor Shower

The Geminids are considered to be one of the most spectacular meteor showers of the year, with the possibility of sighting around 120 meteors per hour at its peak, which is on December 13 or 14, depending on your time zone.

 

The shower owes its name to the constellation Gemini because the meteors seem to emerge from this constellation in the sky.

 

An Asteroid Meteor Shower

Unlike most other meteor showers, the Geminids are not associated with a comet but with an asteroid: the 3200 Phaethon. The asteroid takes about 1.4 years to orbit the Sun.
