Star gazers and space geeks are bracing for one of the year's biggest astronomical events, as the annual fiery Geminids meteor shower gets set to light up our skies with multi-coloured shooting stars on December 14 and 15 in Australia.
What is the Geminids meteor shower? For Aussies setting their alarm clocks to catch the Sunday peak viewing time of 5.40am (AEDT), you're in for a treat, according to Macquarie University's astrophysicist Dr Tayyaba Zafar.
"Geminids is a significant meteor shower with the highest number of meteors per hour (100-150), therefore, called the King of Showers," Dr Tayyaba tells 9Honey.
