Quadrantid Meteor Shower
The Quadrantid Meteor Shower is an annual meteor shower that peaks in early January. It is known for producing bright meteors, often referred to as "shooting stars." The shower originates from the debris left by the comet 2003 EH1, which is believed to be an extinct comet.
The best time to view the Quadrantids is during the pre-dawn hours, when the sky is darkest. Observers can see up to 120 meteors per hour at its peak, although this can vary each year. The meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Boötes, making it easier to spot them in the night sky.
