(Video) Malaysians Can Observe Spectacular Geminids Meteor Shower This 13 & 14 Dec

Good news for skywatchers, as this month you will be able to enjoy the Geminid meteor shower, which is considered one of the best showers of the year.

The meteor shower phenomenon which is expected to start from December 4 until December 17 is said to peak on December 13 to 14.

According to the National Planetarium, Malaysians have the opportunity to witness the maximum Geminids meteor shower from 8.30 pm (December 13) until early morning (December 14) Malaysian time.

Although the meteor shower phenomenon is a common natural phenomenon, this event still amazes many people on the earth.

The Geminid meteor shower comes from the direction of the constellation Gemini due to possible collisions with other ‘objects’ in the past so as to eventually produce meteor rain from the particles resulting from the collision.

For those of you who want to see this phenomenon clearly, you are advised to go to a dark and distant place of light. It is better to move to a dark area with little light pollution. Viewers can expect a wide variety of meteors, including some fireballs, intensely color streaks, and even dimmer “shooting stars.”

No need for binoculars or telescopes, you just need to lie down and get your eyes in the dark for at least 30 to 40 minutes so that the light can limit the number of meteors you see.

For those who do not know the difference between asteroids, comets, meteors, and meteorites, you can find out by watching the video below.
