The New Year is finally here and begins with a beautiful light show for those who want to go out early on Sunday morning 2021 Quadrantit meteor shower. Quadrantids are not so well known Azol Or With Leonidan, But they will be one of the heaviest rains of the year.
The challenge is that the bright moon can wipe out these falling stars and bright fireballs, not far from its full point on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. In addition, the summit of the Quadrantids is very narrow, with a few hours of window instead of a few days like other rains.
However, with a little planning, you can capture the scene, which produces 100 meteors per hour, including a reasonable number of glowing fireballs.
The Predicted by the International Meteorological Organization Quadrantids officially peak within most of North America within an hour of sunrise on the Pacific coast or within hours of sunrise on the east coast. However, such predictions are not always accurate. Therefore, it is best to hit the road between 2am and sunrise on Sunday.

You should avoid light pollution as much as possible and see good weather, wide view of the sky and the ability to see as far as possible from the bright moon. Keep in mind that this show is generally best in the Northern Hemisphere, where you will want to boldly combine winter temperatures with most places.
Quadrantids appear to have originated in parts of the sky near the northern star Polaris, but extend into all parts of the sky.
This is because the Earth is actually moving through a cloud of debris associated with the asteroid 2003EH1, which may have been a comet. Although the origin of these meteorites is somewhat mysterious, they collide with our atmosphere and burn dramatically.
Enjoy the first big night skyline of 2021!
