KATHMANDU, Dec 14: One of the best Geminid meteor showers of this year will be seen Tuesday and Thursday night.



According to Nepal Astronomical Society (NASO), 60 to 120 streaks of tiny particles that burn up fairly 70 km high above the earth´s surface can be observed in the sky on the nights of those two days.[break]



Though the shower peaks at 4:45 pm (GMT) today, bright and colourful, Geminids could begin as early as 8:30 pm local time, because the shower´s radiant rises fairly high in the eastern sky from 8:30 pm onwards and traces the sky till the next morning, NASO said issuing a press release.
