The sky of Morocco witnesses a distinctive astronomical phenomenon, known as the “Geminid meteors.” This occurs during the period between December 4 and 17.
On this date, annual meteor showers take place. It is expected that the night of December 13 will be the most exciting, as it will see the peak of celestial activity, with many of them visible in the sky.
This phenomenon originates from an asteroid that passes near Earth and releases tiny particles into space, forming a cloud of debris that Earth passes through during this month. The density of the meteors varies according to the concentration of these particles, making each year carry a different experience in terms of their number and brightness speed.
This phenomenon can be seen from various regions of Morocco, from midnight until dawn. Dozens of meteors may pass in a single minute during the peak.
