Where they come from: Comet Tuttle (8P/Tuttle)

Dust from Comet Tuttle, which comes round every 13.6 years. A quiet shower most years, around the winter solstice, with now and then a burst of much higher rates.

The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

From most of the Northern Hemisphere it never sets, so you can watch it all night.

Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, lasts eight days from the 25th of Kislev in the Hebrew calendar - in late November or December. It remembers the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Maccabees' revolt in the second century BCE, when, the story goes, one day's oil kept the menorah burning for eight.

Like every Jewish day, it begins at sundown: the first candle is lit on the evening before the first day, and one more each night after, lit from the shammash, the helper candle set apart from the rest.
