Geminids to brighten Saudi skies next Wednesday

Saudi Arabia is expect to observe the Giabariyat meteor shower next Wednesday, with its peak occurring on the evening of October 21, 2026, and lasting until dawn on Thursday. This astronomical phenomenon results from Earth passing through a region containing dust and debris left by Comet Halley, leading to the appearance of fast, sporadic shooting stars in the sky. It is advisable to watch them from dark locations after midnight using the naked eye, though the moonlight may affect visibility. The Giabariyat meteor shower continues from October into early November, and this year coincides with the waxing crescent moon phase, which may reduce the chances of seeing the faint meteors.
