The “Quadrantids” is 2024’s first major meteor shower which will be active from December 12, 2023, through January 12, 2024.

Typically this meteor show can produce 50-100 meteors per hour in a dark sky; the peak time to watch is on January 4, 2024, with its best displays before dawn.

How best to view meteor showers?

  • Get away from city lights
  • Give yourself at least 15-30 minutes to let your eyes adjust to the dark
  • Meteor watching is a waiting game
