Despite the bleak weather forecast, you don't want to miss the once in a lifetime spectacle that is the Quadrantids meteor shower tonight ☄️
Sadly, as well as extensive cloud cover, we also have a 91% waxing gibbous moon to deal with. Which means, even if the sky is clear, there will be a lot of illumination from the moon potentially stopping you seeing the meteors.If you are lucky enough to escape the cloud cover and rain and get a bit of clear sky, you shouldn’t struggle to spot the shooting stars.
Ideally, facing northeast will get the best view. But it shouldn’t matter too much which direction you face as long as you can get as much of the sky in your view as possible.The further north you go, the better your view of the meteor shower will be Of course, you’re going to need to give your eyes a little time to adjust to the dark, so it’s advisable to be outside for about 30 minutes before you really start watching for meteors.For Northern hemisphere observers only. The Quadrantids meteor shower may be spectacular this year?
