This is one of the best meteor showers of the year and never seems to disappoint observers. This meteor shower gets the name 'Geminids' because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini. An observer in the Northern Hemisphere can start seeing Geminid meteors as early as December 6, when one meteor every hour or so could be visible. During the next week, rates increase until a peak of 50-80 meteors per hour is attained on the night of December 13/14. The last Geminids are seen on December 18, when an observer might see a rate of one every hour or so.
On December 14th, 2007, this amazing video was shot from a news helicopter flying above the desert near Phoenix of the Geminid Meteor Shower.
