☄️ Ursids · peak Dec 21 · ~10/hr · 🌗 moon 36%

Wednesday, December 17, 1913 – December 26, 1913 All day

Peak: December 21, 1913, around 22:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 36% lit: some moonlight, which will hide the fainter 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.
