THE final meteor shower of 2021 is set to light up the night sky this week.
The Ursid meteor shower runs from about December 17 to 26 every year, and is expected to peak this year on December 21 and carry into December 22.
As many as 10 meteors can be seen every hour during the peak, according to experts.
The incredible event takes place around the same time as the December solstice, which officially marks the start of astronomical winter in the Northern Hemisphere.
Another meteor shower is not expected until April, meaning this is perhaps the last chance to see one for months.
