Good Red Friday morning, Rallypoint. Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day is titled "Quadrantids over the Great Wall." The Quadrantids peak this year on the night of January 3-4. Unlike other meteor showers that tend to stay at their peak for about two days, the peak period of the Quadrantids only lasts a few hours. Best time for viewing on the East Coast will be ~1:30AM tomorrow morning as the Moon will have set and Bootes will be above the horizon. Where to look: find area between the Big Dipper and the Herdsman (Bootes). Now look towards the constellation Draco. Hope your weather will be better than what it's going to be in Charlotte.
