Quadrantid Meteor Shower Peaks Tonight

You'll need to bundle up and take along some hot cocoa to stay warm in the wee hours tonight... but our Schuele Planetarium staff says the Quadrantid meteor shower could provide an interesting sky show for intrepid astronomy buffs. The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks at 1:40 a.m. January 4. Planetarium Specialist Suzie Dills says the shower is brief but intense... 100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions! Keep your fingers crossed for good visibility and look northeast after dark.
