The first meteor shower of 2024 is peaking tonight — and it could be one of the year’s best.
The Quadrantid meteor shower occurs each year during early January and, according to NASA, is known for its bright fireball meteors — large blasts of light and color that last longer than average meteor streaks.
The Quadrantid shower has a slimmer viewing window than other meteor showers that tend to remain at their peak for about two days. The Quadrantid peak lasts just a few hours — but as many as 120 Quadrantid meteors can be seen per hour under ideal conditions.
Here’s what to know about meteor showers, and how to enjoy this one.
