SUMMARY: The Quadrantid meteor shower will peak on Friday, offering the year’s first opportunity to see fireballs in the sky. Optimal viewing will occur under a waning crescent moon with minimal light interference. Named after a now-defunct constellation, the Quadrantids can produce up to 120 meteors per hour, primarily composed of debris from asteroid 2003 EH1.
