Skygazers and astronomy lovers are in luck tonight, as the Geminids should be visible over Ireland throughout Monday night and Tuesday morning.
The meteor shower, which occurs every December, takes its name because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini. Astronomers believe that the Geminids is the result of debris shed from an asteroid-like object called 3200 Phaethon.
Geminids events usually feature brightly-colored streaks across the night sky, sometimes with as many as 120 shooting fireballs per hour. The dazzling display is best seen on a dark and moonless sky, so look skyward tonight as you are likely to see something amazing, providing the skies are clear, of course.
