From August's lingering Perseids to the Ursids that arrive just before Christmas, the night sky above Metro Vancouver offers a steady procession of celestial events through year's end. Five distinct meteor showers — Draconids, Orionids, Leonids, Geminids, and Ursids — mark the remaining months of 2023, each one a reminder that the cosmos keeps its own calendar, indifferent to our busy lives below. For those willing to seek a dark patch of sky and simply look upward, the universe has not yet finished its annual display.
