(CNN) Keep your eyes on the early morning skies for the oft-neglected Ursid meteor shower on December 22, on the heels of the winter solstice. This small meteor shower can really be seen only from the Northern Hemisphere with between five and 10 meteors streaking across the sky per hour. That, combined with the often cloudy winter nights of December, could obscure your view of this little shower. If you want the best perspective of the shower, wait for the moon to set around 12:30 a.m. The meteor shower originates from the Ursa Minor constellation, known as the Little Dipper, but the meteors will be visible streaking across the entire sky.
