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.

CNN —The Geminid meteor shower, which lights up the sky each December, is one of the most active and dependable celestial displays of the year. Now, astronomers using NASA’s Parker Solar Probe have gained more insight into the underlying cause of the Geminids. The meteor shower was first recorded in 1862 and appears to radiate from the Gemini constellation. The Geminid meteor shower streaks across the night sky over the Lhasa River in Tibet on December 14, 2022. It’s the first asteroid to be associated with a meteor shower, and it measures about 3.17 miles (5.10 kilometers) across.

☆ 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.
