More than 400 meteors were seen during the Geminid shower in SC; Video | Santa Catarina

More than 400 meteors were seen in the Geminid rain, which peaked in the early hours of Friday (15), according to amateur astronomer Josemar Justino. He photographed the phenomenon in Monte Castello, north of Santa Catarina.

The amateur astronomer reported that the meteor shower was particularly “spectacular” on this date, thanks to sky conditions.

“On the 13th, despite great expectations, the observation was partially overshadowed by the presence of clouds after midnight,” Justino said. “However, the following night, observers had clear skies, allowing them a distinct view of the meteors.”

“Known for their vividness and brightness, the Geminids crossed the sky at a speed of about 120,000 kilometers per hour, creating an unforgettable visual spectacle.”

He described this meteor shower as “one of the outstanding astronomical events of the year.”

According to astronomer Josemar Justino, who is part of Bramon and responsible for the camera that took the above photos, the meteorite is the luminous phenomenon:

“Meteorites can be caused by the entry of any solid body into the Earth’s atmosphere. They are usually caused by meteoroids, which are rocks up to one meter in height. If they are more than one meter in length, they are called asteroids. Meteorites are rocks that survive Life in the End He stated that the heat generated upon entering the atmosphere eventually reaches the Earth.
