3200 PHAETHON

Every December, around the 13th and 14th, the sky throws the Geminids - the meteor shower known for burning white, yellow, even green. Most showers come from comets made of ice. This one comes from a rock. Its parent is an asteroid called 3200 Phaethon, named for the boy in the Greek myth who borrowed his father's sun chariot, flew it too close, and set the world alight. The asteroid repeats the mistake every orbit: it dives closer to the sun than Mercury does, gets scorched, cracks, and sheds stone that we see, years later, as streaks of light. You know that orbit. The job you took that was too big for you. The city you moved to with one bag. You went too close and something cracked off. Here is the part the myth leaves out: the pieces that broke away are the brightest thing in December's sky. Burn anyway.
