Stunning Geminid Meteor Shower Illuminates Night Skies Over England
The Geminid meteor shower captivated night sky enthusiasts across England, with stunning displays recorded in regions from Northumberland to Somerset during its peak in the early hours of Saturday. Known for its intensity and striking meteor trails, the shower is linked to the asteroid 3200 Phaethon and produces over 150 meteors per hour at its zenith. Local photographer Lee Reid, who traveled to Lindisfarne in Northumberland, expressed his excitement after witnessing the phenomenon amid a clear patch of sky. The Geminids, noted for their bright, multi-colored meteors, are expected to remain visible until December 20, offering a final celestial spectacle for the year.
