"Ursids: Last Meteor Shower of 2023 Lights Up the Night Skies"

The Ursids meteor shower, the last meteor shower to peak in 2023, will be visible across the night sky and radiates from the constellation Ursa Minor. NASA advises stargazers to view the meteor shower in areas away from city lights, lie flat on their backs with their feet facing south, and allow their eyes to adjust to the dark for about 30 minutes. Meteors are space rocks that heat up as they fall toward Earth, appearing as shooting stars, and during meteor showers, many meteors hit Earth's atmosphere in a short period of time. The next meteor shower, the Quadrantids, is set to peak in early January.
