12-14-2021 TSS Visual Report of the Day.

"Geminids Everywhere!"

Today's featured report is an observation of the Geminid meteor shower by Unitron48 (Dave). He actually counted 358 meteors, which is an outstanding haul that required some darkish skies. Interestingly, the Geminids do not originate from a comet but rather the asteroid 3200 Phaethon. How meteors originate from an asteroid is definitely a subject for future research. Congratulations Dave on the VROD award for the day!
