Quadrantids Meteor Shower
sty 4 całodniowy

The Quadrantids is an above average shower, with up to 40 meteors per hour at its peak. It is thought to be produced by dust grains left behind by an extinct comet known as 2003 EH1, which was discovered in 2003. The shower runs annually from January 1-5. It peaks this year on the night of the 3rd and morning of the 4th. The first quarter moon will set shortly after midnight, leaving fairly dark skies for what could be a good show. Best viewing will be from a dark location after midnight. Meteors will radiate from the constellation Bootes, but can appear anywhere in the sky.

Moon Will Occult Mars
lut 18 całodniowy

For those of you in the mid-northern latitudes of North America, you’ll be able to watch Mars disappear behind the dark disc of the crescent moon as the moon slides into place between Earth and the red planet.

Look to the southeast, one hour before sunrise on the morning of Tuesday the 18th.

From around the world, these three planets line up across the early morning sky, with Mars at top, and Saturn at bottom. The brightest of the threesome – the king planet Jupiter – resides in between Mars and Saturn.
