As it moves along its orbit, it leaves behind a long and glowing tail, visible from Earth with telescopes or even with the naked eye in dark skies. Its closest approach to our planet is expected in October 2024.

A large fireball is being seen in the sky during the Geminid meteor showers in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka, on December 14, 2023. The Geminids are a prolific meteor shower caused by the object 3200 Phaethon, which is considered to be a Palladian asteroid with a ''rock comet'' orbit. This makes the Geminids, along with the Quadrantids, the only major meteor showers not originating from a comet.
