Peak: December 14, 1927, around 04:00 UTC — up to about 150 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 68% 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.
