 Space Weather News for January 1, 2004

 The annual Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the year's finest, yet
 people seldom see it. The shower peaks in early January when northern
 skies are frequently cloudy, and the chill air discourages lingering
 outdoors.  If you've never seen the Quadrantids, this weekend might be a
 good time to try. Forecasters expect a flurry of meteors, perhaps 25 to 60
 per hour, on Sunday morning, January 4th. Sky watchers in western Europe
 and eastern parts of North America will have the best view--weather
 permitting.
