Learn the Sky | Geminids Meteor Shower @learnthesky | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 59 minutes ago.
In this video, we will learn about the meteor shower known as the Geminids which occurs for a period of two weeks at the beginning of December. The peak of the shower usually happens on December 13 and 14. We will examine the cause of these meteor showers occur and get practice with identifying the constellation of Gemini since that is the radiant for this meteor shower.
