Hello John and Doves,

Two big cosmic events this weekend, 12/21  to dawn of 12/23 - starting off the Eight Days of Hanukkah, December 22 to December 30 (which contains our Christmas Day, December 25):  The Winter Solstice and the Ursid meteor shower.

The last shooting stars of the decade will rain down on Earth.  The waning crescent moon will help these be more visible to star gazers.

Here's a cool representation seeing these from space of the Ursids and Earth:

"Christmas has come early for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere, who will be treated to two major cosmic events this weekend.  Winter officially kicks off on calendars Saturday - a day sacred to many ancient cultures called winter solstice.  But this year, the hallowed day will be followed by a dazzling display of shooting stars coming from the annual Ursids meteor shower, which peaks Sunday evening and lasts into the dawn of Monday.

And astronomers say this year is going to be particularly active, with a rate potentially two to three times more than usual - up to 30 to 45 meteors per hour." https://nypost.com/2019/12/20/saturdays-winter-solstice-2019-comes-with-a-meteor-shower/

"In 2019, "we're not expecting an outburst,"  NASA meteor expert Bill Cooke told Space.com.  "But the Ursids have surprised us before."  https://www.space.com/34973-ursid-meteor-shower-guide.html
