The Geminids are considered to be one of the best annual meteor showers due to its brightness, intensity and consistency.
It will peak overnight on Sunday and is expected to produce more than 120 meteors per hour.
According to Royal Museums Greenwich, the meteors are multi-coloured – mainly white with some being yellow, green, red and blue.

The colours are caused by the presence of traces of metals like sodium and calcium.
The Geminids are the only major meteor shower which does not originate from a comet and they are believed to be intensifying every year.
How can I see the Geminid meteor shower?
The peak is happening when the moon is a waning crescent, meaning viewing conditions are favourable.
The best places to see meteors are away from street lights and sources of light pollution, such as on the Suffolk coast.
Meteors can be seen in all parts of the sky and can be seen with the naked eye, but they will appear to originate from the Gemini constellation.
