The Quadrantids might be one of the strongest showers this year, but poor weather could make them difficult to see.<\/p>\n

The universe has given us abundant holiday light shows: natural fireworks for the winter solstice<\/a>, northern lights to ring in the new year<\/a>. It\u2019s rounding out those festivities with the Quadrantids, the first meteor shower of 2025.<\/p>\n

Bright fireballs from the shower, which is one of the few to be caused by debris from an asteroid, began streaking through our skies on Dec. 26 and are expected to continue through Jan. 16. Their peak activity will occur Jan. 2 to 3, or Thursday night into Friday morning.<\/p>\n

The Quadrantids are best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere and are forecast to be one of the strongest showers this year<\/a>. But frigid temperatures, overcast skies and a short peak \u2014 just six hours \u2014 will make them difficult to spot.<\/p>\n

To get a hint of when to watch, you can use a meter<\/a> that relies on data from the Global Meteor Network. It shows how the fireball activity levels increase in real time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
