Meteors are bits of debris that explode as they enter the Earth’s atmosphere at speeds up to 70km/second, creating streaks of light in space.
NASA will live stream the event for those who are unable to attend the shower.
Bill Cooke, NASA’s Meteoroid Environment Office lead, stated: “Rich with green-coloured fireballs and the Geminids, the Geminids will endure cold December nights to view.”
Stargazers love Geminids because they are bright, fast, and often multi-coloured.
They are primarily white but can also appear yellow, green or blue due to the presence of metals like sodium and calcium. These elements are what make fireworks colorful.
