  • The Geminid meteor shower of 2022, showing the radiant point in Gemini at left, above Castor and Pollux. Orion is at lower right. Mars in Taurus is at top, to the left of Aldebaran and the Hyades star cluster. The M44 Beehive star cluster is in the lower left corner. Small star clusters in Gemini (M35) and Auriga (M36, M37, M38) are at top. I shot the images for this composite from home in Alberta on December 14, 2022, the night after the peak night, which of course was cloudy. The temperature was about -15° C. A heater band on the lens kept the frost off. I had to change the camera battery once during the evening s shoot. Alberta Canada Copyright: xAlanxDyerx ADY-GeminidMeteorShower2

  • The Geminid meteor shower of December 13, 2017 in a view framing the winter Milky Way from Auriga (at top) to Puppis (at bottom) with Gemini itself, the radiant of the shower at left, and Orion at right. The view is looking southeast to the Peloncillo Mountains in New Mexico though the site at Quailway Cottage is in Arizona, near Portal. This is a composite stack of one base image with the brightest meteor, then 20 other images layered in each with a meteor. The camera was not tracking the sky, so I rotated and moved each of the layered-in frames so that their stars mroe or less aligned with the base layer, to ensure the meteor streak ended up in the correct location with respect to the stars and to the radiant point, illustrating the radiant in Gemini above Castor. The images for this composite were taken over 107 minutes starting Copyright: xAlanxDyerx xVWPicsx ADY-OCT18-231
  • Dec. 14, 2018 - Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. - A Geminid meteor streaks across the sky over one of the peaks of the Seven Sisters rock formation early December 14th in the Valley of Fire State Park near Las Vegas. The meteor display, known as the Geminid meteor shower because it appears to radiate from near the star Castor in the constellation Gemini, is thought to be the result of debris cast off from an asteroid-like object called 3200 Phaethon. The shower is visible every December. Las Vegas USA - ZUMAbk3_ 20181214_zaf_bk3_002 Copyright: xDavidxBeckerx
