The Geminid meteor shower – always a favorite among the annual meteor showers – is expected to peak in 2021 on the night of Monday, December 13 into Tuesday, December 14. The Geminids are a reliable shower for those who watch around 2 a.m. local time from a dark-sky location. This year, a waxing gibbous moon will be above the horizon during peak time for viewing. But it’ll set shortly afterwards, leaving the sky dark for watching meteors. Thus the best time to watch for Geminid meteors in 2021 is likely before dawn –, from around 3 a.m. to dawn – on the morning of December 14.

The largest meteor shower of 2020: The Geminid
On the night of Sunday, December 13, and into the early hours of Monday, December 14, the Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak.

The first Jupiter-Saturn “kissing planets” since the millennium
On December 21 in what is called a great conjunction or “kissing planets,” Jupiter and Saturn will be extremely close together–0.1 degree apart to be exact, EarthSky reports. The meeting will be the first Jupiter-Saturn conjunction since 2000. Not only that, but it will be the closest one since 1623, which was just 14 years after Galileo made his own telescope. Oh and along with the great conjunction, December 21 is also the date of the December solstice.

October is a great month for all lovers of sky observers and stargazers. The month started with a full Harvest Moon and it also ends with a lovely full moon spectacle. It is also the month in which not one but two meteor showers take place. The first one which is active right now is the Draconid Meteor Shower. The peak of this meteor shower is the night between October 8 and 9. So tonight is a good chance that you may get to see some ‘shooting stars.’ We tell more details about when and how you can see them.

Draconid Meteor Shower 2020 Dates
The Draconid shower is active between October 6 and 10. The best time to spot any meteors is during their peak. The peak of the Draconids in 2020 is between the night of October 7 and 10

What is Draconid Meteor Shower?
Draconids, also called Giacobinids, it is a meteor shower whose parent body is the periodic comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. It is not very intense unlike the other meteor showers, as about only 10 meteors per hour can be seen during this shower. The draconids are dust grains left behind by comet 21P Giacobini-Zinner. This comet takes about 6.6 years to make a single revolution around the Sun. The shower gets the name after its point of origin in the constellation Draco.

Where and How to Watch The Draconid Meteors?
This meteor shower favours the Northern Hemisphere so you can see it in India as well. A specialty about this meteor shower is you do not necessarily stay up into the late night to catch a glimpse of them. The Draconids are best seen in the evening, instead of before dawn. This is because the constellation Draco from which these meteors originate is at the highest point in sky after nightfall. So start observing the sky from the time it starts to get dark. To carefully observe meteors one needs to get away from the city lights, and a point where there is no light pollution.

In case, you miss the draconids, do not worry as there is another brighter shower, the Orionids coming in weeks from now.

Hello people ! Good news from Mount Abu stargazing eyes on the sky Before sunrise on July 19 (which is Sunday), as many as five planets -- Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn -- and the crescent moon would all be visible in the sky at the same time. And you would not even need a telescope to see them. According to astronomer Jeffrey Hunt, who is also an educator and a former planetarium director, the heavenly bodies are supposed to make an appearance an hour before sunrise on Sunday. Hunt has also given tips on how to see the planets in the sky this Sunday.

"Forty-five minutes before sunrise, the crescent moon and five planets are visible curved across the morning sky on July 19, 2020. Find a spot with clear horizons in the east-northeast and the southwest. A binocular may help finding the moon, Mercury, and Jupiter,"

Happy stargazing!😊😊👍

Mount abu stargazing eyes on the sky welcomes newly discovered comet is streaking past Earth, providing a stunning night time show after buzzing the sun and expanding its tail. The comet will be visible in India from July 14 onwards as it soars across the solar system.
Dubbed as Neowise, the comet swept within Mercury's orbit a week ago. Its close proximity to the sun caused dust and gas to burn off its surface and create an even bigger debris tail. Now the comet is headed our way, with the closest approach in two weeks.
"From July 14, C/2020 F3, a comet discovered on March 27, will be clearly visible in the north-western sky.
