January's Meteor Shower and Supermoon to Illuminate Night Skies
TL;DR Summary
The first supermoon and Quadrantid meteor shower of the year will occur in January, but the bright moonlight may reduce the visibility of the meteors, which are best seen from the Northern Hemisphere in dark skies before dawn. Both events are visible without special equipment, with the meteor shower peaking Friday night into Saturday morning and the supermoon visible throughout the night.
