Possible shower outburst in December 2023 associated with comet 46P/WirtanenThis document supplements the 2023 meteor shower activity forecast for low Earth orbit. We advise spacecraft operators that a possible shower outburst associated with comet 46P/Wirtanen is predicted for December 12, 2023, two days prior to the Geminid peak. If the outburst occurs, activity will be brief but could rival that of the Geminid meteor shower at small particle sizes
