Jasmine_K/Shutterstock.com The Ursid meteor shower is pretty much always overshadowed by the Geminids. This year, it got buried even deeper. It's been overshadowed by the Geminids, beautiful conjunctions, and the great conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn. Plus, it's cold. The shower has worked hard for the nickname "cursed Ursids." Nonetheless, the Ursids are the last significant meteor shower of the year, peaking the night of December 21 into the morning of December 22. It will not produce 100 or more meteors per hour like the Geminids, but you're going to see meteors. That's always a cause for celebration if you enjoy geeking out with the night sky.
