In 2011, was there really a meteor shower on the night of December 14th?

From the evening of December 14th to the early morning of December 15th, the [Geminid meteor shower] will be the most flowing, and it is a strong meteor shower, second only to the Leonid meteor shower. This year, it is very likely to appear from 9 o'clock on the 14th to the early morning of the 15th Beijing time. The Geminid meteor shower's radiant rises almost shortly after sunset, so we can observe meteors in its group throughout the night.

On the night of December 23, [Ursa Minord meteor shower] If you want to make a wish, please prepare.

Beijing time at 0:45 on December 15.

For observers in our country, the observation conditions of the Geminid meteor shower this year are very good. The maximum forecast is at 0:45 Beijing time on December 15, when the Emei moon on the fifth day of the first lunar month has already set, and the radiant point is also close to the overhead, and the horizon is very high. With an average velocity of 35 km/s, the Geminid meteor shower is a medium-velocity meteor suitable for photographic observations.

Ever since people started paying attention to the Geminid meteor shower, they have been looking for its parent comet. After more than a century of searching, we have finally found the "originator" of this meteor shower, a planet with a permanent number of 3200, Phaeton, through satellite data. Some people will ask, aren't all comets that form meteor showers?

Indeed, scientists have long suspected that the asteroid is actually a dying comet. Spectroscopic analysis shows that phaethon resembles a stony asteroid, but its orbit is elongated and flattened, similar to that of a comet. When it passes near the Sun, it does not produce a comet tail, but it throws a lot of debris, which is why the Geminid meteor shower is generated.

Meteor showers are celestial phenomena, such as the Geminid meteor shower, the Ursid meteor shower, and the Ursid meteor shower....**Affected by moonlight. On December 10th, the moon is fully decorated, and the folklore says that the tengu eats the monthly amount? On December 14 and 15, there was a meteor shower, but due to its influence, fewer meteors were seen.

It's better to watch the TV series Meteor Shower.
