See the last meteor shower of the year: The Ursids peak before Christmas.
Reading
The Ursid meteor shower will peak on Sunday. It happens just a few days before Christmas. This meteor shower is not as bright as the Geminids, but it can still be exciting to watch.
Usually, the Ursids are not very active, with only a few meteors visible each hour. However, there have been times when many more meteors were seen, making it hard to predict.
You don't need special tools to see the Ursids, which come from a comet called 8P/Tuttle. Like other meteor showers, the Ursids happen when Earth passes through the debris left by a comet.
The moon will be quite bright this year, making it harder to see some of the meteors. If you want to catch the Ursids, you can try watching the sky until December 26th.
After the Ursids, the next chance to see a meteor shower will be in January. The Quadrantids meteor shower will reach its peak on January 3rd.
