Bulgaria Gemenids Meteor Shower

Astronomer observe the Gemenids meteor shower in the observatory of Avren, East of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, between Dec. 13 and 14, 2014. The Geminids are a meteor shower caused by the object Phaeton 30120 which is thought to be a Palladain Asteroid with a "rock comet" orbit. This would make the Geminids, together with the Quadrantids the only major meteor showers not originating from a Comet. The meteors from this shower are slow moving, can be seen in December and usually peak around December 13 and 14, with the date of highest intensity being the morning of December 14.
