The Quadrantids, one of the few meteor showers caused by asteroid debris, began on Dec. 26 and peaks on Jan. 2 and 3, 2025.
Due to frigid temperatures and limited viewing conditions, spotting the Quadrantids will be challenging this year despite its anticipated strength as a meteor shower.
Meteor showers occur when Earth traverses debris from comets or asteroids, with the peak duration being the prime time for catching the brightest meteors.
The Global Meteor Network provides real-time data on fireball activity, helping spectators know the best times to watch for meteors.
