On December 9, two meteor showers peak, December Monocerotides and Sigma Hydrides, reports starwalk.space.
December Monocerotide meteors will be visible in the constellation Monoceros, their number is expected to reach 2-3 per hour. During the peak of the Sigma Hydrid, about 7 “shooting stars” will fly by in the constellation Hydra.
The Moon illuminated by 15 percent will not interfere with observation too much, astrophysicists report.
