Last Meteor Shower of 2024!

What is the last meteor shower of the year? The Ursids will appear in Northern Hemisphere skies overnight on December 21 to 22! Formed from Comet 8P/Tuttle, a Manhattan-sized comet, the Ursids are famous for producing rare meteor storms of 100 or more meteors per hour! This year, however, their expected rate is 5 to 10 meteors per hour, plus the occasional bright fireball. Since the night sky will be lit by the quarter moon, it’s especially important to find a dark place away from city lights for the best chance of viewing the Ursids!
