Quadrantid meteor shower
以前にも言及がありましが、Quadrantid meteor shower「四分儀(しぶんぎ)座流星群」とは、毎年1月1日頃から1月5日頃に出現が見られ、1月4日頃に出現のピークを迎える流星群です。わたしもちょっと挑戦してみようかと思っています。(EnDough)

Meteor shower will light up night sky for just a few hours
(CNN) -- Skywatchers will be setting their alarm clocks for the early morning hours Thursday when the annual Quadrantid meteor shower peaks. This year's show in the sky may not produce as many highlights for some viewers because of light from the moon, NASA said in a statement. Meteor watchers can expect to see 60 to 200 meteors an hour streak across the sky, NASA said.
