Friday will be the longest night of the year, but there could be a heck of a show if the clouds allow it.

The winter solstice will be accompanied by a full moon, which has not happened since 2010, and will not happen again until 2094, according to Space.com.

Sunset on Friday in Juneau is expected to be 3:07 p.m., and sunrise Saturday is expected to be 8:45 a.m. During those almost 19 hours of darkness, the Ursid meteor shower’s activity is expected to peak Dec. 21 and Dec. 22. Activity will be near the Little Dipper, or Ursa Minor, which lends the shower its name. The shower will continue until around Christmas Day. The meteors will be visible without special equipment, but the moon may make the meteor activity more difficult to see.

“There’s also a comet that’s visible, so there’s four things,” said Steve Kocsis, Marie Drake Planetarium volunteer. “It’s cataloged as 47P. It’s kind of naked-eye fixed magnitude near Taurus.”

For any of those phenomena to be visible, the night sky will need to be clear, and the weather in Juneau isn’t expected to cooperate.

“We are in a pretty active pattern unfortunately, and that tends to give us a more cloud cover,” said Jake Byrd, general forecaster for the National Weather Service. “Right now, it looks like it probably won’t be all that favorable.”

He said there may be breaks in the clouds that would make the night sky visible, but they’ll be few and far between.

“You might get a silhouette of the moon through the cloud cover,” Byrd said.

However, there will be plenty of celebratory events inside around Juneau for the solstice, too.

Here’s a rundown of some things to do Friday and Saturday.
