The Geminid meteor shower, known for its bright meteors, will peak soon, offering a celestial show for stargazers across Switzerland. Find viewing tips here.
The Geminid meteor shower is set to illuminate the night skies over Switzerland as it reaches its peak. This annual celestial event is known for producing bright and plentiful meteors, making it a favorite among stargazers.
The shower is caused by the Earth passing through debris left behind by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. Unlike most meteor showers that originate from comets, the Geminids are associated with an asteroid, giving them a unique composition.
For those in Switzerland hoping to catch a glimpse, the best viewing times will be during the peak hours. Find a location away from city lights for optimal viewing. The darker the sky, the more meteors you're likely to see. No special equipment is needed; just your eyes and a clear view of the night sky.
