Over 100 shooting stars per hour are set to dazzle the night sky globally, marking the grand arrival of the Geminid Meteor Shower! Peaking on December 13th and 14th, this annual event is caused by Earth passing through the debris trail left by asteroid 3200 Phaethon. A waxing crescent moon on the peak nights ensures optimal darkness for sky gazers to enjoy the show! #GeminidsMeteorShower #Space #MeteorShower #Asteroid | Museum of Science, Boston
