A photographer in the Philippines captured footage of the Geminid meteor shower as it reached its annual peak on December 14. In the footage, meteors can be seen shooting across the starry night sky. According to NASA, the meteors appear to radiate from a point in the constellation of Gemini and are produced by the asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
