☄️ Ursids · peak Dec 21 · ~10/hr · 🌕 moon 99%

Saturday, December 17, 1904 – December 26, 1904 All day

Peak: December 21, 1904, around 15:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 99% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Ursa Minor; the debris is from Comet Tuttle. A modest shower near the December solstice, for the Northern Hemisphere.
