Here are a few meteor viewing tips to help you get the most out of the opportunity. First up, simply head outside after dark on any night within a couple of days of the shower. Later is usually better, but you never know when a burst of activity might arise. The meteor shower’s radiant is near the star Polaris in the constellation Ursa Major. The radiant is the point from which (or to which) meteors appear to radiate from. Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, but Ursid Meteors will trace a line to a point just below Polaris. Be sure to bundle up, as night time temperatures this time of year can be quite chilly. A reclining chair or lounger is ideal to prevent neck strain. Enjoy!
