The Sky Erupts in Fireballs

 

QUADRANTID METEOR SHOWER

The cosmos is putting on its first big show of 2026  and it’s going to be spectacular.

The peak nights: January 2–3, 2026 with up to 100 meteors per hour!

The Quadrantids are known for explosive fireballs typically  brighter, bolder, and faster than usual meteors.

WHERE AND WHEN TO WATCH:

Best after midnight until dawn.  Face northeast near the constellation Boötes.  Escape city lights for darkest skies.

Let your eyes adjust 20–30 mins  and don’t blink!

Whether you're a skywatcher, stargazer, or simply want a magical night under the stars, this is the one to see.

Tip: Use a wide-angle lens and long exposure to catch fireballs streaking across the sky.
