3200 Phaethon is an active asteroid, discovered in 1983-Oct-11 in data from the IRAS space telescope. Given its highly eccentric orbit, Phaethon comes within 0.14 AU of Sun at perihelion. It is also the parent body of the Geminids meteor shower that occurs in mid-December. It is the target of JAXA's DESTINY+ mission, with a high speed flyby planned in 2030.
