As the year winds down and the nights grow longer, skywatchers have a special treat in store: the annual Ursid meteor shower. This celestial event, which peaks around December 21-22, offers a dazzling display of shooting stars that can light up the winter sky. If you missed the earlier Geminid meteor shower this month, don’t fret; there’s still time to catch some spectacular meteoric action before we usher in a new year.
