Looking up tonight (Dec 14) into tomorrow morning? Get ready for the Geminid meteor shower peak! 🌠 Known as the ultimate romantic celestial event, it's one of the top three meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere.
Why it's awesome:
- Up to 120 meteors per hour: a high and stable count
- Slow-moving, whitish streaks with dazzling fireballs
- Perfect for making year-end wishes ✨
When and where to watch:
- Peak: Late night on Dec 14 to pre-dawn Dec 15
- Best view: Away from city lights, open sky to the northeast
- South and Southeast Asia: Visible, though count may be slightly lower
Pro tip: Grab a cozy blanket, some snacks, and your fav playlist. Give your eyes 20 minutes to adjust to the dark. And hey, don't forget to make a wish on your favorite shooting star! 😉
