Geminid meteor shower time: There will be Geminid meteor shower on December 14

Having just enjoyed a perfect total lunar eclipse, we are about to see the Geminid meteor shower. From 9 a.m. today to early tomorrow morning, the Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak, with an estimated maximum of hundreds of meteors streaking across the night sky every hour. However, astronomical experts said that although the Geminids are stable, the moon will rise at 8:30 this evening, which will cause great interference to the observation of the meteor shower.

The Geminid meteor shower is listed as one of the "three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere". It is characterized by its long duration. It usually visits the Earth from December 7 to 17 every year, making it very suitable for observation by astronomy enthusiasts. According to the forecast of the International Meteor Organization, the peak flow rate of the Geminid meteor shower this year will be over 120 meteors per hour.
