Apod 2.4

The annual Germinid meteor shower is predicted to be occurring on December 14th at around 12:10 a.m. eastern time. The Geminid metros are expected to provided phenomenal photo opportunities. Beautiful landscapes with snow-tinged objects will be in the photos, it will be a very cold observation period. In this particular photo the meteor is seen overhead above Monument valley. This is caused because planet Earth will be sweeping through the dusty debris from Phaethon, an extinct comet.
