A Geminid meteor can be seen in the sky near Warsaw on December 13, 2012. The meteor display, known as the Geminid meteor shower because it appears to radiate from the constellation Gemini, is thought to be the result of debris cast off from an asteroid-like object called 3200 Phaethon. The shower is visible every December. (Janek Skarzynski/Getty Images)
