Quadrantid meteor shower to light up skies with dazzling 'fireball' shooting stars
Briefly

The Quadrantid meteor shower, peaking overnight from Thursday to Friday in January 2025, produces up to 120 shooting stars per hour, known for bright fireballs.
Known as one of the most intense meteor showers of the year, the Quadrantids typically offer a spectacular display if weather and moonlight conditions allow.
This year's Quadrantids will benefit from favorable conditions with the moon at only 11% full, making the sky dimmer for better viewing.
Best viewed from the northern hemisphere, the Quadrantids radiant point lies just below the Big Dipper, allowing viewers to maximize their meteor-watching experience.
