These meteors from near the northern sky's Little Dipper. Best morning probably December 22. Expect 5-10 meteors per hour, but bursts of 100 or more per hour possible!
December solstice sunrise comes at the same time for St. Augustine, Florida and New York City. But St. Augustine has an hour more of daylight than New York. Here's why.
Our lunar calendar shows the moon phase for each day of the coming year. Also ... check out the new colors and designs of our EarthSky Cares Tees. A percentage of proceeds collected will be donated to select organizations.
The Big Dipper is low in the sky in the evening hours at this time of year, but you can spot it after midnight and it'll help point the way to the ongoing Ursid meteor shower. Photo by Janet Aviles.
