SUMMARY:Quadrantids Meteor Shower Peak (all night)
DESCRIPTION:Named for a now-defunct constellation called the Mural Quadrant\, the Quadrantids meteor shower runs from December 26 to January 16 every year. Quadrantids meteors always radiate from a point in the northeastern sky below the tip of the Big Dipper’s handle. This shower commonly produces bright fireballs because it is produced by particles dropped by an asteroid designated 2003EH. The Quadrantids’ most intense period\, when up to 50 to 100 meteors per hour can appear during a short\, 6 hour window\, will occur on Friday\, January 3 at 18:00 GMT. That converts to daytime in the Americas\, but observers located in the Pacific Ocean and eastern Asia will have ideal conditions in the hours before dawn. The moon will not interfere with the shower this year.

SUMMARY:Waxing Moon joins Saturn (evening)
DESCRIPTION:In the southwestern sky after sunset on Saturday\, January 4\, the yellowish dot of Saturn will appear several finger widths below (or celestial WSW of) the waxing crescent moon – close enough to share the view in binoculars (orange circle). Venus will gleam to their lower right. The moon and Saturn will be visible from dusk until they set at about 10 p.m. local time. Hours earlier\, skywatchers located in a zone extending across northwestern Africa\, most of Europe\, Iceland\, and northeastern Greenland can safely watch the moon occult Saturn with unaided eyes\, binoculars\, and backyard telescopes. Use an app like Starry Night or Sky Safari to look up the event’s start and end times where you live.
