Quadrantids

The Quadrantids are a meteor shower that occurs each January, when Earth passes through debris left by a small comet called 2003 EH1. As Earth moves through this debris, tiny particles enter our atmosphere at high speeds and burn up, creating bright streaks of light called meteors. The Quadrantids are notable for their intense display, often producing up to 40-100 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. They originate from the constellation Boötes and are best viewed before dawn in the Northern Hemisphere, offering an impressive spectacle of space debris burning up in our atmosphere.
