Stars and astronauts will be on a date with the most spectacular of the year's celestial displays, with the geyminds of the night sky on December 13 and 14 and visible in the UK and Ireland.
The geymind meteor showers produce a 3-mile asteroid called "3200 Phaethon" and fly close to Earth every 523 days.
Because it is very close to the sun, its temperature rises to 800 degrees Celsius, making it fly through Earth's orbit, sending material from its surface.
These small objects are what we see in the night sky, where they appear as stars that penetrate the earth with the dust and the remaining rocks.
The "3200 Phaethon" is interesting, as it is not a guilty but an asteroid, meaning it is made up of metal and rocks, rather than ice, dust and rocks.
Although there is some controversy about "3200 Phaethon", some scientists suggest that it may actually be an extinct culprit, meaning that it has abandoned the flying ice and no longer has a tail.
Last year, the "3200 Phaethon" was in its earliest flight from the Earth, but the giant moon made it difficult to see the meteor showers coming from the asteroid. But this year will not see additional light in the night sky, which facilitates the monitoring of this phenomenon astronomical.
It will be about 50 to 120 feet per hour, so it will be very interesting to observe the sky and enjoy this astronomical event.
