A quick heads-up that tonight is the peak of the 'Ursids' meteor shower - named because the radiant of the shower is in the constellation Ursa Minor.
The Ursid shower is often overlooked because it's so close to Christmas, has a relatively narrow duration, and the rate (Zhr) is comparatively low compared to the big-name showers.
The Ursid shower however, does have a history of throwing up some spectacular 'fireball' meteors, so it's worth keeping an eye out.
The shower is caused by Earth passing through the trail of debris left by the periodic comet 8P/Tuttle, with the peak coming between 9pm and 10pm (GMT) this year.
The radiant is next to the star 'Kochab' (beta U-minor), which is less than 15° from the pole - so it will be roughly to the North all night long.
Best place to watch for shower meteors - as always - is 30° or more AWAY from the radiant - so keep an eye out to the North-East, or North-west, there's also chances of them streaking southwards as the pass overhead.
Zhr (zenithal hourly rate) is only about 20 - so there won't be many to see, especially if you are in a town or city.
But if you do see a bright 'shooting star' tonight - chances are, it will have been an Ursid.
