– December 20, 1916
All day
Peak: December 13, 1916, around 08:00 UTC — up to about 150 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 87% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Gemini; the debris is from asteroid 3200 Phaethon. The year's richest shower, with many bright meteors, visible from both hemispheres. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
