*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
