The view of a “double planet” during December’s “Great Solstice Appulse” may be the curtain-closer on 2020’s celestial sights, but it’s far from the only one left in 2020.

That’s probably the fate of the famous Perseid meteor shower this year, but not so December’s Geminid meteor shower. Although it peaks after midnight on December 13/14, 2020, the Geminid meteor shower runs from December 7-17.
