TL;DR Summary

The Quadrantids meteor shower, known for its bright fireballs, peaks tonight in Hawaii with up to 120 meteors per hour expected. The best viewing conditions are in dark, clear areas with little light pollution, facing northeast. The W.M. Keck Observatory provides tips for optimal viewing, including avoiding phone screens to maintain night vision. While the peak is tonight, the meteor shower will remain visible until January 16. Viewing may be challenging in some areas due to weather conditions, but a waning crescent moon will provide darker skies for those with clear visibility.
