Here’s a celestial Christmas gift that you can enjoy, the Ursid Meteor Shower…
The Ursids meteor shower begins annually around December 17 and runs for a week plus, until the 25th or 26th.
This meteor shower is named for its radiant point, which is located near the star Beta Ursae Minoris in the constellation Ursa Minor.
The peak will be on Winter Solstice, December 21 and the morning of December 22, 2020…
Get under a dark sky, bundle up in your warmest winter gear and bring a hot beverage and enjoy the show.
The predawn hours are usually the most favorable.
