🌠✨ Geminid Meteor Shower Dazzles Skywatchers Across Japan
The Geminid meteor shower peaked from the night of December 14 into the early hours of the 15th, treating astronomy enthusiasts to a stunning display across Japan. With minimal moonlight this year, viewing conditions were excellent. At Cape Toi in Kushima, Miyazaki Prefecture, meteors streaked across clear winter skies, while some travelers even stopped their cars to gaze upward.😶🌫️ 😶🌫️ 😶🌫️
At Nojimazaki Lighthouse Park in Minamiboso, Chiba Prefecture, spectators braved the cold sea breeze—some with cameras, others lying on the grass—to enjoy the celestial show. Around 9:30 p.m., an especially bright meteor with a long trail lit up the sky, drawing cheers from the crowd.✨ ✨ ✨
