The Quadrantid meteor shower, known for its impressive light show, is set to peak on January 4. During its short peak, observers may see anywhere from 60 to 200 shooting stars per hour. The shower is known for its bright fireball meteors, which originate from larger particles of material. To view the Quadrantids, find a dark area away from city lights and lie flat on your back with your feet facing northeast.
