Thursday, Jan. 4: #Quadrantids meteor shower peak

Named for a now-defunct #constellation called the Mural Quadrant, the Quadrantids meteor shower runs from Dec. 26 to Jan. 16 every year. Quadrantids meteors always radiate from a point in the northeastern sky below the tip of the Big Dipper's handle. Prime viewing is before dawn.
