The annual Geminid meteor shower, one of the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere, reached its peak on December 14 with as many as 150 meteors per hour. During a Geminid shower, the speed of meteoroids is slow, bright meteors are abundant, and fireballs often appear. 

Watch this video provided by Weather China, the online weather service of the China Meteorological Administration, to witness the Geminid meteor shower as seen at Lugu Lake, southwest China's Yunnan Province.
