Re: (meteorobs) Ursids
Hi Marcel,
Some Japanese observers notice Ursids activity in this year, because
it has been passed for 6 years since Comet 8P/Tuttle, parent body of
this stream, returned last time in 1994. In a similar timing, Ursids
outburst occurred in 1945 and 1986 in the past. And it become a good
condition for observation. This stream is expected to be maximum on
Dec. 22 evening in Japan.
