The first meteor shower peak of the year is already here, just three days into 2023. Here's how to see the Quadrantids.
When does Quadrantids meteor shower peak? How to wat
The Quadrantids meteor shower will peak the night of Jan. 3 through the morning of Jan. 4. What makes this meteor shower unique is that its one of the few that has a peak lasting only a few hours, as opposed to others that have peaks ranging a few days, NASA says. The peak is expected to occur around 10:40 p.m. through 1:40 a.m. ET, with the later time favoring the chances of visibility on the East Coast, according to the AMS. The duration of strong activity could last around six hours.
To catch a glimpse of the shower, it is advised to go to an area that isn't affected by light pollution during the night or predawn hours of the peak. NASA says it's important to first let your eyes adjust to the dark, which takes less than 30 minutes. Once adjusted, the AMS says to face northeast and look about halfway up to the sky. It is recommended to sit in a chair or lie down as opposed to standing and looking up for the most comfortable experience. The AMS suggests giving yourself at least an hour to watch to avoid any lulls in activity.
