Tuesday, December 28, 1909 – January 12, 1910 All day

Peak: January 3, 1910, around 03:00 UTC — up to about 80 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 54% lit: some moonlight, which will hide the fainter meteors. Meteors seem to come from Boötes; the debris is from asteroid 2003 EH1. A sharp peak of only a few hours, best seen from the Northern Hemisphere.
