December is destined to be a romantic month. In addition to the total lunar eclipse, on the 14th of this month, the starry sky will also be romantic, and the Geminids, Ursid meteor showers, and Mercury's western elongation are also worth looking forward to.
This year's Geminid meteor shower will be at its most high, from 9 a.m. to early morning on December 14. The Geminid meteor shower's radiant is located near North River 2 and rises almost shortly after sunset, so we can observe meteors in its group throughout the night. If the weather is clear and people face northeast and stand in the open area, they will see a romantic sight of 100 to 120 meteors per hour streaking across the night sky, so it is the most observable meteor shower of the year.
This year's Ursid meteor shower is expected to be at its maximum at around 10 a.m. on December 23, which will also be visible through the night. The number of meteors per hour does not exceed 10, but it is slower and comes in a variety of colors.
Moreover, around the 22nd, it is already a waning moon, and the moonlight has little effect on the observations. For observers in most parts of China, the radiant of the Ursid meteor shower will be visible all night, and the best time to observe it is from the evening of the 22nd to the dawn of the 23rd.
Before dawn on the 23rd, low in the southeast, Mercury's western elongation will appear, which is the best time to observe Mercury. Mercury's greatest western elongation is when Mercury appears in the west of the Sun and its angular distance reaches its maximum. You must know that Mercury is so close to the Sun that it is usually lost in the sun's brilliance, making it the most difficult planet in the solar system to observe.

Hello landlord, actually every night by a shooting star. Because the earth is moving at high speed around the sun in orbit, and there is interstellar material everywhere in the universe, whether it is a comet or whatever, it will sprinkle some debris to form meteors (not necessarily rain) when it is close to the earth, so every night, as long as it is ideal conditions (of course, this condition is not possible), more than a dozen meteors will be seen streaked by. >>>More
