One day, Phaeton asked his father to drive the chariot of the sun of through the heavens for a single day. Like many a new teenage driver, Phaeton was unable to control the horses of the sun chariot (too much horsepower), which came too near the earth and began to scorch it. As a result, law enforcement (i.e. Zeus) hurled a thunderbolt at Phaethon, and cause him to crash his chariot into the river. https://www.britannica.com/topic/Phaethon-Greek-mythology

The #Geminid #MeteorShower peaks tonight, 12/13! One of the best occurs this evening, thanks to a weird blue rock called #Phaethon that acts like a comet. Wait for the moon to set around 12, put on some layers and see if you can catch a few scorchers.
