"Tonight's Guide to Viewing the Spectacular Quadrantid Meteor Shower"

The Quadrantid meteor shower, peaking on the night of January 3rd into the morning of January 4th, offers a celestial spectacle with about 125 meteors per hour at its peak. Originating from the debris of asteroid 2003 EH1, these meteors are best viewed in the northern hemisphere, away from the light of a 51% full Moon. Stargazers are advised to find a dark spot and use the Big Dipper as a guide to catch these bright fireballs, despite the absence of meteor trails. This event marks the start of 2024's major meteor showers, with more to come throughout the year.
