The Geminid meteor shower is set to peak late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, providing a spectacular celestial show for skywatchers. Best viewed away from city lights, the shower may be slightly obscured by the near full moon. The shower originates from the asteroid 3200 Phaethon, which interacts with Earth’s atmosphere this time of year.
To celebrate the event, a viewing party will be held in Fountain Hills on Friday night, with temperatures expected to dip into the 50s and 40s. This annual event offers a chance to witness the beauty of nature and the wonders of the universe.
For those looking to capture the event, be sure to bring warm layers and a good camera to document this stunning display. Don’t miss the chance to witness this breathtaking and rare event in the night sky.
