I brought this over from the meteorite list in case anyone happens to be outside! Anyone have any thoughts on where and when would be the best to observe this? ???Lakeside looking to the northeast after midnight??? -Barrett Space Weather News for Jan. 3, 2012 http://spaceweather.com FIRST METEOR SHOWER OF 2012: The annual Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Wednesday morning, Jan. 4th, when Earth passes through a narrow stream of debris from a comet thought to have broken apart some 500 years ago. The shower is expected to be strong (as many as 100 meteors per hour), but elusive, with a peak that lasts no longer than a couple of hours. The shower's radiant near Polaris favors observers in the northern hemisphere. Images, live audio from a meteor radar, and more information are available on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
