Meteor shower to peak early Saturday
New York - UPI
An annual December meteor show known as the Ursid shower will reach its peak in the early morning hours Saturday, astronomers say. The shower, which usually coincides with the winter solstice, is named the Ursids because it appears to fan out from the vicinity of a star in the constellation of Ursa Minor. The Ursid shower is less well-known than the Geminid shower, also in December, a much more prolific and reliable event. The Geminids can produce up to 120 meteors per hour while the Ursids produce about a dozen or so per hour at the peak, SPACE.com reported. The Ursids are debris from the periodic comet Tuttle 8P/Tuttle, which circles the sun in a 13.6-year orbit.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home.
