anyway, we expect the modest Ursid shower to produce the greatest number of meteors between midnight and dawn on Friday, December 22.
• Bottom line: Watch for meteors in the annual Ursid shower beginning around now. The peak is probably around December 21 or 22, but you can see meteors in this shower for several days around the December solstice. As many as 100 meteors per hour have been seen - but only in short bursts. Expect 5 to 10 meteors per hour. The radiant point is in the Little Dipper asterism in the northern sky.
