According to PAGASA, the annual Geminids meteor shower will reach its peak in the night of December 13-14. Under a dark and cloudless sky just after midnight of its peak activity, meteors or “falling stars” can be seen at an average rate of forty meteors per hour. The shower will appear to radiate from the constellation of Gemini.
Meanwhile according to Slate News, the Geminid meteor shower peaks Thursday night, and the annual celestial light show may have a special guest star enlivening its act this year. Appearing to emanate from the constellation Gemini, the Geminid meteors are actually remnants of the asteroid Phaeton that get trapped and burn up in the Earth's atmosphere when our planet orbits through the asteroid's debris field.
