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.
