A quiet solstice shower
A low-key shower to close out the year.
The Ursids are a modest solstice-season shower radiating near the Little Dipper. Rates are low, but a dark, moonless night can still turn up a steady trickle before dawn.
Peak rate: ~10 / hour
Where it is visible: Northern Hemisphere, pre-dawn
Northern hemisphere only in practice. The radiant is in Ursa Minor at roughly 76 degrees north, so it never rises at all from the southern hemisphere.
