One of 2024’s Last #MeteorShowers Is About to Reach Its Peak
The astronomical event, which overlaps with the Winter #Solstice, is often overlooked because of the winter chill.
#Meteors from the #Ursids appear near the Little Dipper, which is part of the constellation Ursa Minor. Only skywatchers in the Northern Hemisphere will have a chance of seeing this shower. Moon will be just over half full, making streaks in sky even more challenging to spot.

Its 11 days till the #Geminids #meteor shower peaks. Realistic rates are 20 per hour in clear skies but a waning crescent Moon bleaching the sky a bit. Then the #Ursids peak two days before Christmas, with a likely rate of 10. No moon for this one. #MeteorShower #PopAstro #UKMeteorNetwork
