Stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere are in for a treat on December 22 and 23! A special “holiday light show” is about to begin. The last meteor shower of 2024, the Ursids, will peak on Saturday night and into Sunday morning.
According to EarthSky, the Ursids are not as active as the Geminids, which peaked a week ago. However, they still add a unique glow to the night sky.
Stargazers can spend this weekend away from the noise and lights of the city, looking up at the stars and expecting the fleeting beauty of the Ursids to streak across the sky.
This is a romantic gift from nature to people at the end of the year. Whether you are an astronomy enthusiast or an ordinary citizen, you can take this opportunity to experience the vastness and mystery of the universe.
