Geminid Meteor Shower: The Best Meteor Shower of 2019

One day to go until the Geminid meteor shower. Around 2 am on the night of 14 December it will be visible from Bangladesh. The Geminids are called the best shower of the year — they come in fast, at an estimated 20,000 metres per second, so they look bright.

Geminid Meteor Shower: The Best Meteor Shower of 2019

One day to go until the Geminid meteor shower!

In just one more day — that is, around 2 am on the night of 14 December — the Geminid meteor fall, or meteor shower, will be visible from Bangladesh! The Geminid shower is said to be the best meteor shower of the year. Because it comes in at tremendous speed it will look bright enough. Its average velocity is estimated at 20,000 metres/second

At that time meteors are expected to be visible every hour. Moonlight will make it impossible to see that many of them properly, but a good opportunity is nevertheless waiting for lovers of space, it is fair to say. Is everyone ready? 😀
