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.
