☄️ Ursids · peak Dec 21 · ~10/hr · 🌔 moon 92%

Tuesday, December 17, 1912 – December 26, 1912 All day

Peak: December 21, 1912, around 16:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 92% 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.
