Answer 1

Answer:

Geminid meteor shower 2020

December 12, 2020

The Geminid meteor shower – always a highlight of the meteor year – is expected to peak on the night of December 13-14 (Sunday evening until dawn Monday). But don’t wait till then to watch these meteors, as we expect every weekend night to produce a good display.

Long, straight bright streak in dark sky above dark nearby mountains.

John Ashley in Glacier National Park, Montana, caught this amazing earthgrazer meteor in December 2018. You’re most likely to catch an earthgrazer in the evening hours. Watch for them! John said this one lasted approximately 4 seconds and left behind a glowing smoke train. He commented: “The meteor went dark just above Dusty Star Mountain, or ‘Iszika-kakatosi’ in Blackfeet, which translates to ‘smoking star.'” Cool!

The Geminid meteor shower – always a highlight of the meteor year – is expected to peak in 2020 on the night of December 13-14 (Sunday evening until dawn Monday). You might see a decent spattering of meteors on the preceding nights (December 11-12 and December 12-13) as well. And you might catch a Geminid meteor anytime this week, as the shower builds to its peak. The Geminids are a very reliable shower if you watch at the best time of night, centered on about 2 a.m. for all parts of the globe, and if you watch in a dark sky. The meteors tend to be bold, white and quick. This shower favors Earth’s Northern Hemisphere, but it’s visible from the Southern Hemisphere, too. The curious rock comet called 3200 Phaethon is the parent body of this shower.
