The Geminid meteor shower, which peaks overnight tomorrow, is associated with 3200 Phaethon. This activity might be explained by heating from the rocky object's close approaches to the Sun, and Science@NASA reports that an unexpected brightening was observed in June 2009 when Phaethon was observed at perihelion using STEREO coronagraph imagery (path shown above, credit NASA, Jewitt, and Li).

An impact solution, also known as a "virtual impactor" (VI), is not a prediction but rather a possibility derived from a variant orbit calculation that cannot be eliminated yet based on the existing data. Elimination can come quickly with just a little further observation or may take weeks or months, sometimes years. Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk. See Jon Giorgini's "Understanding Risk Pages" to learn more.
