Geminids are space rocks that burn and produce bright streaks of light when entering the Earth's atmosphere.

Most meteors originate from comets, but the Geminids come from an object called 3200 Phaethon, which is more like an asteroid.

The colorful appearance of the meteors is due to the presence of metals like sodium and calcium, similar to fireworks.

To observe the meteor shower, find a dark location away from city lights and let your eyes adjust to the darkness.
