Nature

The Geminid meteor shower happens every year. It is an annual meteor shower that occurs in December.

Frequency

The Geminids are a yearly meteor shower, returning once per year as Earth passes through the debris stream of the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.

They are considered one of the most reliable annual showers because they produce strong activity every December.

When in the year

The Geminids are active for roughly two to three weeks in early to mid- December, with activity building up to a peak.

The peak typically occurs around December 13–14 each year, when observers under dark skies can see the highest meteor rates.
