The Geminids meteor shower is one of the most stunning celestial events and one of the most intense meteor showers to occur every year. Unlike most meteor showers which result from comets, the Geminids originate from an asteroid, called 3200 Phaethon. NASA's Parker Solar Probe mission has now provided more details on the unusual origin of the spectacular Geminids meteor shower.
