Geminids Meteor Shower

Geminids Meteor Shower

A green meteor is being seen in the sky during the Geminid meteor showers in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka, on December 14, 2023. The Geminids are a prolific meteor shower caused by the object 3200 Phaethon, which is thought to be a Palladian asteroid with a ''rock comet'' orbit. This makes the Geminids, together with the Quadrantids, the only major meteor showers not originating from a comet. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)

    Hunter's Supermoon Seen From Colombo, Sri Lanka

    A close view of the Hunter's Supermoon over the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, on October 17, 2024. October's full moon is known as the Hunter's Moon because it is the time of year when leaves start to fall and animals have plumped up over the summer, ready for winter. Ancient communities therefore increase hunting at this time of year. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
