How to Watch the Quadrantids, the First Meteor Shower of the Year

The Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the briefest yet strongest meteor showers of the year, and it peaks between January 3 and 4. This annual event is a spectacular display of shooting stars that can be seen with the naked eye, making it a favorite among stargazers.

To catch a glimpse of the Quadrantids, find a dark spot away from city lights, lie back, and look up at the night sky. The best time to view the meteor shower is during the early morning hours when the radiant point is highest in the sky. Be patient, as it may take some time for your eyes to adjust to the darkness, but once they do, you'll be treated to a stunning show of celestial fireworks.
