Greetings From Journey to Space! 🚀🌌
Look 👀 up ⬆️ tonight.
Something quiet, ancient, and beautiful is unfolding above us.
While many meteor showers steal headlines with blazing fireballs and dramatic counts, the Ursid meteor shower is different. It’s subtle. Patient. Almost poetic. And right now—late December 22 into the early hours of December 23—it is reaching its peak.
The Ursids radiate from Ursa Minor, the constellation that holds the Little Dipper and Polaris, the North Star.
That alone gives this shower a special character. Unlike many meteor showers that require you to face low horizons or twist your neck at awkward angles, the Ursids appear from a part of the sky that is visible all night long in the Northern Hemisphere.
The North Star has guided travelers, explorers, and dreamers for thousands of years—and tonight, it quietly hosts a celestial performance.
