"Anticipating a Stunning New Meteor Shower in the Skies"

Earth may experience a new meteor shower called the "Lambda-Sculptorids" this December as it enters a stream of debris left by the near-Earth comet 46P/Wirtanen. Scientists have discovered that Earth is due to encounter this stream on December 12, 2023, potentially leading to the first recorded meteor shower from this comet. Observations of this shower would provide valuable scientific insights, although they may be challenging due to the low entry velocity and small sizes of the meteoroids. The well-known Geminids meteor shower is also set to peak around the same time.
