The shower draws its name from a vanished constellation and could unleash over a hundred meteors per hour for early-rising observers. The Quadrantid meteor shower, the first major meteor display of 2025, will peak on the night of Friday, January 3. The annual event offers skywatchers a chance to see bright meteors streak across the sky, with the possibility of observing up to 120 meteors per hour at its peak.
