more star gazing~


When: The Geminids meteor shower will be visible from Dec. 4 to Dec. 17 in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. How good will it be? NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke told Space.com that the Geminids “will be the best meteor shower of 2020, no question about it.”
Peak: Its peak period will be overnight on Sunday, Dec. 13, into the early morning hours on Monday, Dec. 14, when the moon will be giving off very little light. On Dec. 13, the moon will be in its waxing crescent phase, with only 2% illumination, and on Dec. 14 it will be in its new moon phase, with no illumination — ideal for seeing shooting stars.

How active: This meteor shower usually generates as many as 50 to 100 shooting stars per hour, sometimes as many as 120 per hour, with the highest numbers in the darkest locations. EarthSky and other astronomy websites say this year should be on the higher side, because of the dark moon phase.
Fun facts: While most meteor showers originate from comets, the Geminids are actually small fragments of an asteroid. Another meteor shower that’s linked to an asteroid is the Quadrantids, peaking in early January.
Ursids meteor shower

When: The Ursids meteor shower will be visible from Dec. 17 to Dec. 26 in the northern hemisphere.
Peak: Its peak period will be overnight on Monday, Dec. 21 — the first day of winter — into the early morning hours on Tuesday, Dec. 22, when the moon will be 45% to 55% full. That could make it tough to see the faintest meteors.
