NASA Science News for December 9, 2002
The Geminid meteor shower, which peaks this year on Saturday morning,
Dec.
14th, has begun. Unlike the recent Leonids, which were nearly
overwhelmed
in some places by moonlight, the Geminids of 2002 will not be dimmed by
a
glaring moon. These meteors come from a curious object--a "Twilight
Zone"
cross between a comet and an asteroid--called 3220 Phaethon.
