Every year, I receive a celestial birthday present. No, it’s not because of any secret insider connection with the universe, but a simple coincidence that on the day in question – 14 December – Earth ploughs through a swarm of dusty particles, which results in a shower of bright meteors.
There’s a whole solar system of exciting astronomical events to look forward to this year.
This December is your chance to witness one of the best meteor showers of 2020 – the Geminids.
Missed the Geminids meteor shower last year? Well, mark this date and don’t miss out again!
