THE GEMINID METEOR SHOWER IS UNDERWAY: Earth is entering a stream of gravelly
debris from "rock comet" 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor
shower.  Although the shower's peak is not expected until Dec. 13-14,
observers are already seeing fireballs fly out of the constellation Gemini as
early-arriving meteoroids hit Earth's atmosphere traveling ~35 km/s (78,000
mph). More information and observing tips may be found on today's edition of
Spaceweather.com.
