Dr. John Barentine FRAS<p>The <a href="https://astrodon.social/tags/Quadrantids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Quadrantids</span></a> meteor shower is predicted to peak in activity at around 1900 UTC on 3 January. Under a dark sky with no moon, when the radiant is high in the sky, observers can expect to see up to 100 meteors per hour.</p><p>The Quadrantids are so named because they appear to radiate on the sky from the former location of an obsolete northern constellation called Quadrans Muralis. It was introduced by the French astronomer Joseph Jérôme Lefrançois de Lalande in 1795 and depicted an astronomical measurement device. It fell into disuse and disappeared from star charts before 1900.

𝑮7𝑰𝙕𝑼 𝑹𝙍𝑫<p>Space Weather</p><p>[This post will be split into multiple posts on BSky]</p><p>According to AMS, The annual Quadrantids meteor shower, which is active between 26 Dec and 16 Jan, is expected to peak on 03 Jan at around 17h45 UT. This peak favours the Pacific Ocean region. </p><p>Hiroshi Ogawa (Japan) predicts a peak on 04 Jan at 09h UT, so bear in mind these variances between predictions. Personally, I trust the latter.</p><p>The shower has a traditionally sharp peak of activity over a few hours, but if the timing is out then other parts of the world will get the benefit of the peak activity. The new moon on 30 Dec will help with darker skies.</p><p>AMS: <a href="https://www.amsmeteors.org/meteor-showers/meteor-shower-calendar/#Quadrantids" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">amsmeteors.org/meteor-showers/</span><span class="invisible">meteor-shower-calendar/#Quadrantids</span></a></p><p>Hiroshi Ogawa:<br><a href="https://www.emeteornews.net/2024/01/20/quadrantids-2024-radio/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">emeteornews.net/2024/01/20/qua</span><span class="invisible">drantids-2024-radio/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/spaceweather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>spaceweather</span></a> <br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/meteors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>meteors</span></a> <br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/quadrantids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quadrantids</span></a></p>
