Geminids (GEM):
Conforme a International Meteor Organization (IMO), nos últimos anos, a taxa horária zenital (THZ) dessa chuva tem se mostrado mais confiável, apresentando uma média de 120 meteoros a cada uma hora. Durante as duas últimas décadas, todos os meteoros ocorreram entre as coordenadas λ⊙ = 261.5◦ e 262.4◦, das 16h de 13 de dezembro às 14h de 14 de dezembro (Horário de Brasília, desconsiderando o horário de verão). Analisando essas informações da IMO, o melhor momento de observação dessa chuva ocorrerá entre 13 e 14 de dezembro. Como o radiante dessa chuva estará localizado próximo da estrela Castor, na constelação de Gêmeos, mais especificamente com AR = 7h28min e Decl = +33 graus, a observação poderá ser iniciada, em 13 de dezembro, após às 23h. Porém, o mais indicado é observar essa chuva entre 1h e 4h, de 14 de dezembro. Isso não impede de realizar as observações à partir das 23h de 14 de dezembro até o amanhecer de 15 de dezembro. Pois, conforme relata a IMO, a modelagem teórica realizada por Jérémie Vaubaillon apresentou uma grande densidade de partículas de poeiras que poderiam ser encontradas durante o dia claro de 15 de dezembro, instante na qual, observadores podem estar cientes em ajudar a refinar o trabalho de modelagem desse trabalho. Continua ainda a IMO: seja qual for o caso do instante máximo dessa chuva, geralmente a taxa da chuva Geminids persiste por quase um dia.

Em específico, para esse ano de 2015, a Lua também não irá atrapalhar a observação. Sendo assim, aprecie o radiante dessa chuva após às 23h de 13 de dezembro. Será um belo espetáculo no céu.

Utilize as brilhantes estrelas Pollux e Castor para localizar o radiante da Chuva Geminds. A figura 14 ilustra a região dessa chuva que são esperados 2 meteoros a cada um minuto. Para se ter uma ideia da importância e expectativa dessa chuva, em 1985, foram observados 4960 meteoros a cada uma hora!!! Sem dúvida, será um lindo espetáculo no céu.
