When the 2022 Geminid meteor shower occurred.

The Geminid meteor shower occurs from December 4 to December 17, and the 2022 maximum occurs at 21 o'clock on December 14, with a ZHR (zenith occurrence rate per hour) of 150, and the parent body of the Geminid meteor shower is the asteroid 3200 (Phaethon).

Best time to observe the 2022 Geminid meteor shower.

The best observation time in 2022 is from 19:00 to 23:00 on December 14, a few hours after dark is suitable for observation, because the moon is close to the last quarter moon that night, and there are many bright meteors in the Geminid meteor shower, and there are often fire meteors, so after the moon rises, you can also harvest a lot of meteors towards the west**.

The Geminid meteor shower's meteors can streak across the night sky anywhere, but if you look back along the path of these meteors, they all appear to emerge from a point in the constellation Gemini. This year-end meteor shower is usually the most exciting and consistent of the year – nearly 100 meteors per hour shoot out from the radiant close to the Gemini host star Beihe II.

The five-word secret of meteor showers.

Naked-eye: Meteors will randomly appear in any corner of the sky, so the wider you can see, the more meteors you can see, so don't use a telescope.

Sunny weather: Stargazing requires sunny days, so check the weather forecast before going out.

The Geminid Mockids are visible to the naked eye.

The most important characteristics of the Geminid meteor shower are that it is white in color, slow in flow, has more bright fire meteors, and has a long duration of maximum, which is suitable for both direct observation by the naked eye and astrophotography.

In which direction does the Dipus Lypid meteor shower appear

Astronomical forecasts show that when the Geminid meteor shower is located directly above the head under ideal observation conditions, due to the large number of Geminid meteor showers, it can be reached no matter where it is.

The Geminid meteor shower is one of the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, the last large-scale meteor shower in 2021, the Geminid meteor shower ushered in its maximum on December 14, and many places in central and eastern China were clear and cloudless on that night, suitable for viewing. The Geminid meteor shower has a slower meteoroid body, more bright meteors, and often fire meteors.

In order to experience the best viewing effect, friends who have conditions can go to the suburbs with less light pollution and choose an area with a wide field of view for viewing. In addition, although the moonset is a good time to see meteor showers, you can also see some meteors that are relatively bright before moonset. Therefore, before the moon sets, there may be a windfall when looking away from the moon.

Summary. The Geminid meteor shower is very likely to appear at 19 o'clock on December 14, Beijing time, and its theoretical maximum is about 120 hours, when the radiant in the eastern part of China has risen, and there should be no problem in seeing meteors in the group in theory, but the first quarter moon of the ninth lunar month is also in the sky, and the impact on the observation cannot be ignored. However, by 1 a.m. on the 15th, the Moon will fall below the horizon, and the observation conditions after that should be good.

However, it is basically impossible to see the urban area of the city due to pollution and excessive lighting.
