☄️ Ursids · peak Dec 23 · ~10/hr · 🌗 moon 55%

Friday, December 17, 2100 – December 26, 2100 All day

Peak: December 23, 2100, around 21:00 UTC — up to about 10 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 55% 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.
