Abstract

THE DECEMBER METEOR SHOWER.—Mr. W. F. Denning writes: “This annual display of meteors may be expected on the night of Wednesday, December 12, when it will probably reach its maximum intensity. The shower is visible, though it supplies very few meteors, during the first week of December, and the radiant point appears to be a moving one like that of the August Perseids. As the moon will be absent from the evening sky during the early part of December this year, it will be possible to watch the oncoming and development of the shower if we get sufficiently clear weather. The position of the radiant on Dec. i will be about 98° +34°; on Dec. 5, 104° +33°; on Dec. 10, uo°+33°; and Dec. 15, n6°+32°.
