1 week agoThe year's first meteor shower and supermoon clash in January skies
The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks Friday night into Saturday morning, according to the American Meteor Society. In dark skies during the peak, skygazers typically see around 25 meteors per hour, but this time they'll likely glimpse less than 10 per hour due to light from Saturday's supermoon. The biggest enemy of enjoying a meteor shower is the full moon, said Mike Shanahan, planetarium director at Liberty Science Center in New Jersey.
