"2023 Geminid Meteor Shower: A Spectacular Night Sky Event to Watch!"
The Geminids meteor shower, known for its vibrant streaks of light, will reach its peak on Thursday evening. Visible worldwide, the shower can be observed with the naked eye, provided the sky is clear and free from light pollution. The Geminids are caused by debris from the rocky asteroid 3200 Phaethon, resulting in a spectacular display of shooting stars. The colors of the meteors, including white, yellow, green, red, and blue, are influenced by the presence of metals in the debris. To view the shower, simply look up at the sky, preferably towards the Gemini constellation, and find a dark, open space away from city lights. The peak in the UK is expected around 19:30 GMT on December 14th, but the shower will continue for a few days.
