The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on January 5, offering a chance to see up to 120 meteors per hour, aided by a waning crescent moon.
Most meteor showers are named for their originating constellations, but the Quadrantids come from an obsolete constellation, highlighting the unique history of these celestial events.
The best time to watch meteor showers is during the predawn hours, ideally when the moon is low, providing minimal light interference.
Viewing meteor showers doesn't require special equipment; just find a dark location away from city lights, and remember to allow your eyes to adjust.
