Peak: December 21, 1909, around 22:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 71% 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.
