Breaths were held for the Geminid meteor shower, which was described as one of the most impressive celestial events of the year by NASA and many institutions. Those objects moving towards the Earth literally create a visual feast. So, what is the Geminid meteor shower and what will it start with? Here is the answer to the curious question…
Breaths were held for the Geminid meteor shower, which began to appear in the sky in December. Research continues for the Geminid meteor shower, for which the sky is preparing for a visual feast. While searching for an answer to the question of when the meteor shower will occur, many people who turn their heads to the sky will enjoy those moments. So, what is the Geminid meteor shower and what will it start with? Here is the answer to the curious question…
WHEN WILL THE GEMINID METEOR SHOW OCCUR?
The Geminid meteor shower, which started on December 4, 2023, will continue until December 20, 2023. While it is stated that the celestial event will reach its peak between December 14 and 15, approximately 150 stars will slide across the sky every hour and present a visual feast.
HOW WILL THE GEMINID METEOR SHOW FORM?
Geminid meteor shower, which occurs when asteroids hit the atmosphere at speeds of up to 43 miles per second, that is, approximately 70 kilometers per second, is the name given to the event where meteors hitting the atmosphere evaporate and draw light lines in the night sky.
The Geminids come from fragments of an asteroid known as 3200 Phaethon. While scientists are still debating whether Phaethon is an asteroid or not, its asteroid-like structure and the fact that it does not move like an asteroid are causing great controversy.
Besides the fact that its orbit is elliptical like a comet, some scientists argue that it is a completely new class of celestial body. Debate continues whether Phaethon is a rock comet or not.
HOW TO WATCH THE GEMINID METEOR SHOW?
People who want to watch the Geminid meteor shower will be able to watch the meteor shower on the horizon in the Northeast direction on December 14, 2023, at 19.15 Turkey time. The meteor shower takes its name from the constellation Gemini, or Gemini. With the meteor shower, you can find the constellation and follow the sky at intervals on a line starting from the Northeast direction and extending to the west throughout the night. You can enjoy the visual feast in the darkest part of the sky by going to areas with low light pollution.
