The Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak on the night of December 13-14, according to NASA. Here's how and when to see the Geminid meteor shower. The Geminids is one of the best and most reliable annual meteor showers, happening every year in mid-December, according to NASA. While most meteor showers come from comet debris, the Geminids come from a large asteroid-like object called 3200 Phaethon.

☆ Northern Taurids: Meteor shower could produce fireball display
  + stars: | 2023-11-12 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —The Taurid meteor shower is not quite finished, with one of its two streams set to peak this weekend. When the Northern Taurids, an annual minor shower, is at its most active, sky-gazers could catch sight of a bright meteor or two streaking across the night sky. The Northern Taurids are expected to peak at around 7:21 p.m. Stemming from a parent comet called Encke, both Taurid showers typically produce low rates of five meteors per hour. When these celestial objects, known as the Encke Complex, take their orbital journey around the sun, they leave a debris trail that appears as the Taurid meteor showers when Earth’s orbit intersects with their path.

CNN —The first branch of the Taurid meteor showers is set to peak this weekend, presenting an enticing opportunity for patient sky-gazers. Southern Taurid meteors have been blazing bright across the night sky since late September, but around the peak — expected at 8:47 p.m. Around the shower’s peak, the moon will be nearly half full at 44%, according to the American Meteor Society. During its journey, the comet leaves a trail of debris behind that appears as the Southern Taurid meteor shower when Earth’s orbit intersects with its path. Remaining meteor shower peaks in 2023If observing the Taurids’ peak activity has you eager to see more, several other meteor showers still peak this year.

Viewers of Saturday's Perseid meteor shower might see up to 100 "fireballs" per hour at its peak. To best see them, move away from the city and let your eyes adapt to the night sky for half an hour. That's because fireballs are just what they sound like: exceptionally brilliant meteors that are rarer the brighter they are, according to the American Meteor Society. Lucky for meteor enthusiasts of all ages, the popular Perseid meteor shower , set to peak August 13, could bring up to 100 fireballs an hour, Insider previously reported. According to previous reporting from Insider, you have the best chance of seeing the shower in the pre-dawn hours.

The meteor shower is active this year from between April 15 to May 27, but it is expected to peak on May 5. NASAThe Eta Aquarids are one of the few showers that favor the Southern Hemisphere. So you will have to wait over 20 years to see another Eta Aquarids outburst," he added.

☆ Meteor shower: Mark your calendar for the strongest one of 2022
  + stars: | 2022-12-13 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
CNN —The best chance to see the strongest meteor shower of the year is on its way this week. “If you had to pin one (meteor shower) as being the best of the year, year in and year out, it would be the Geminids,” said Robert Lunsford, fireball report coordinator for the society. The biggest and brightest Geminids meteors are often said to appear greenish in color. The moon’s Illumination has affected Geminids watching for the past two years, but the meteor shower is expected to occur around a new moon in 2023, creating perfect viewing conditions. To the casual observer, they’re a nice firework (display) — meteor showers are nature’s fireworks.”The next and final major annual meteor shower of 2022 will be the Ursids, which peak the evening of December 22, according to EarthSky.
☆ Fenomen rar. Un meteorit s-a prăbușit în statul american New York (VIDEO)

Un meteorit s-a prăbușit miercuri în statul american New York, declanșând un boom sonic și un fulger spectaculos deasupra Lacului Ontario, la intrarea în atmosfera terestră, relatează NBC, potrivit digi24.ro. Meteoritul s-a rupt în bucăți la o altitudine de 35 de kilometri între Rochester și Syracuse, a spus Cooke. Boomul sonic s-a auzit însă în tot statul New York. Atunci când s-a spart, meteoritul a produs o lumină strălucitoare peste Lacul Ontario, a spus Cooke. Daar viteza lentă cu care a căzut sugerează că, cel mai probabil, provine de la un asteroid, a spus Cooke.
