Earth is entering a stream of debris from rock comet 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak on Friday night, Dec. 13th, with a dozen or so meteors per hour visible in bright moonlight. The best time to look is 2 a.m. local time (Saturday morning) when the constellation Gemini is high in the sky.
Sunspot 3912 erupted today (Dec. 8 @ 0906 UT), producing an X2-class solar flare and a shortwave radio blackout over southern Africa. The impulsive flare is the latest in a series of increasingly intense explosions this weekend:
The explosion produced a CME, but an initial analysis suggests it will miss Earth, passing just ahead of our planet in its orbit around the sun. More X-flares are possible in the days ahead because there are two sunspots (3912 and 3917) with unstable magnetic fields.
