Posted in Current Events, General, Stargazing on December 9th, 2009 by Peter LipscombEarlier this week, an object named 3200 Phaethon passed by Earth at a distance of about 11 million miles. Ordinarily such an event draws little attention with the regular traffic of planets, comets and other small bodies moving about the solar system. But, 3200 Phaethon is not just any object, it is the parent body of December’s annual Geminid meteor shower.
