As the year runs out, there's still one last meteor shower to send cascading light though the skies Sunday and Monday nights.
The American Meteor Society says there'll be a meteor every 6-to-12 minutes between 9 pm Sunday and 2 am Monday.
The meteors showering the skies tonight, called Ursids, are triggered by the Earth passing through a field of particles left behind by a comet
The Society's Robert Lunsford says the meteor shower coincides with this year's Northern Hemisphere Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year.
Yes, each day grows longer from here till summer.
To see the meteor show Sunday night, Lunsford suggests looking toward the north in an area with as few lights as possible.
And of course it's only the final meteor show of the year. There are more coming after we ring in the new year.
