Ursid meteor shower to peak on Dec 21

Skywatchers in North America can spot the Ursid meteor shower overnight as it peaks from December 21 into early December 22. The Ursids typically deliver five to ten meteors an hour, though rates drop outside the peak. Moreover, Earth may cross a denser filament coming from debris left by comet Tuttle on Sunday, briefly increasing the meteor count.
