2023 Geminid Meteor Shower

The only meteor shower produced by an asteroid rather than a comet, the Geminids are not only the most numerous but the most colorful, too, with white, yellow and even green "shooting stars" possible. 

When & Where: The Geminid meteor shower is worth catching on its peak night—overnight on Wednesday, December 13 through Thursday, December 14 and by 22:00 on December 13 there should be Geminids in the night sky. Look vaguely in the direction of Gemini- to the southeast, but you don’t have to be specific about it. If you want to find Gemini, turn in the opposite direction of the north star, Polaris. There you can find Orion the Hunter, with the red star Betelgeuse on the right shoulder. To the left of Betelgeuse, you can find stars Pollux and Castor at the head of the constellation Gemini.
