QUADRANTID meteor shower?

I was thinking of viewing the Quadrantid meteor shower this year with some friends. We have school the next day but whatever haha. Ive never seen a meteor shower before so Im excited! We live in Colorado, so when would be the best time on the night of Jan 3-4 to view it? Ive heard conflicting things about what time would be best. Thanks!
Answer: Well, ..., Check the website below. Starting at about 11:00PM on January 3rd or 4th you're going to be looking North just under the last star in the handle of the Big Dipper and in-between the constellations Draco and Boötes. I haven't heard what this year's prediction is but, in a good year at the peak, you can see up to 200 meteor's per hour.

The prolific Quadrantid meteor shower and a partial solar eclipse coincide on Jan. 4, a promising start to the 2011 skywatching season.

Where is the best place to see this years QUADRANTID meteor shower?

Answer: There are hundreds of meteors that streak through the atmosphere of the earth each and every day and night. There are times when the earth passes through what was the path of a comet and our atmosphere will pick up a lot of tiny specks of dust left behind from that comet. When that happens, it is called a meteor shower. There are many meteor showers every year. ★ Meteor showers can occur several days prior, and several days after, their projected peak time. ★ Think about the rotation of the earth. As the Earth spins, it moves into the path of the dust in space so you want to look mostly towards the east and near the constellation that the shower is named for. The darker the sky in your viewing location, then the more you can see of even the fainter meteors. If you are in a light polluted area, you will only be able to see the biggest and most bright meteors. They are best to watch if you have a friend with you. This is the 2010 calendar of meteor showers from the International Meteor Organization. They put the 2010 calendar on a pdf file this year so you can save it to your computer. Here is their link for that. http://www.imo.net/docs/cal2010.pdf Their home page can tell you how to get the very most out of your meteor shower viewing experience. http://www.imo.net/

Can QUADRANTID Meteor Shower be observed in Utah?

Id like to ask some questions about this years(?) Quadrantid Meteor Showers, which will occur from the end of Dec this year through the beginning of Jan, 2011. I visited Moab, UT area last month. The last day of my trip, the sky was so clear and I decided to take a glimpse of well-known Utahs dark sky. I went to Arches National Park after dark and was stunned by countless stars as if they were falling from the sky.... The beautiful night sky still stays in my mind even after I came back home. I was surfing the internet and found that Quadrantid Meteor Showers will peak at the beginning of January next year 2011. I am now attracted to go to Utah again and see them myself. I am thinking about visiting Bryce Canyon National Park. To be honest, I know nothing about astronomy, and there are so many unfamiliar words when I surf the internet. I am just a first time amateur star gazer and attracted by so many stars over the sky that I had never seen before. Here are some questions I would like to ask. 1. Is Utahs winter weather generally favorable for star gazing? Or usually more cloudy days? 2. Some articles say this years Quadrantid Meteor Shower will be better observed in Europe and East Asia. Will USA, more particularly Utah, still be a good place to view them? 3. Some articles I found say go see the meteor before dawn on Jan. 4th, 2011. But it seems the peak will be around right after the sunset on Jan 3rd, 2011??? I know the peak time depends on where you view them, but I wonder when it will peak in Utah, USA. 4. Does anyone who has been to Bryce Canyon National Park for star gazing have any suggestion where particularly in the park I should go ? If anyone could answer those questions, it would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

The QUADRANTID Meteor Shower

The Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the years best, producing more than 100 meteors per hour from a radiant near the North Star.

Will i be able to watch the QUADRANTID meteor shower from Athens,Greece?

I live in Greece(and thats in the Northern Hemisphere) and i would like to know if, when, and what time i can watch the Quadrantid meteor shower.(That will happen before dawn on January 4,but i am not sure if the same thing applies for Greece)
Answer: Maybe. First of all, a dark sky really helps. The view from a large city like Athens is very poor; the farther you can get from the city, the better. A coastline (away from brightly-lit places such as harbors) might also be a good spot, since the sky will be darker over the water. Second, although the Quadrantids are a good shower, they are hard to catch because they have a short duration -- just a few hours to either side of the peak. Here are the circumstances for Athens (in local time for time zone UT+2) for the morning of January 4: - moon sets at 3:12 AM - sky starts becoming bright around 6:30 AM - sun rises at 7:41 AM - predicted peak of meteor shower is 9 AM (=0700 UT) Thus, the time to watch is between 3:12 AM and dawn. You'll be watching somewhat before the predicted peak. Things will be better for you if the shower arrives early, and worse if it arrives late. Bottom line: - If you have lots of time, observe from about 3:15 AM until the sky brightens. If you want a shorter observing session, 5 AM would be a good time to start. (Most likely, the shower will improve toward dawn.) - Try to get away from city lights. - Understand that a good meteor shower in Greece is not a sure thing. If the shower peaks later than the predicted time, there may be very few meteors visible from Europe. One final tip: Meteors from a shower can appear anywhere in the sky. Which direction should you look? Wherever it's darkest. For instance, if you travel southeast of Athens, the darkest part of the sky will probably be in the southeast (away from the city), and that's the best place to look in order to maximize the number of meteors. If you travel northwest of Athens, you should look toward the northwest.

Will the QUADRANTID meteor shower be visible on morning of Jan 5?!!!!?

PLease tell me i missed it yesterday cause i confused times..i thought it said like jan 4 night..and i thought it was tonight..although it was tommorow...!!! please tell me..if its even miinutely visible? and will it be visible frm countryside in toronto? IF not when will it appear next time?! PLEASE TELL ME THANKS!
Answer: You missed the Quadrantid meteor shower this year. They were predicted to peak on January 4 at 2 AM EST. The Quadrantids have a very narrow duration (about 7 hours to either side of the peak) and we are already 21 hours past the peak. That's not to say that there might not be a very small number of Quadrantid meteors tonight (January 4-5), but not enough to make a special effort to see. You can see some meteors on any clear night, but note the following: - A dark sky is important -- as far from city lights as possible. - You should pick times when the moon isn't up. - There are usually more meteors visible in the hours after midnight than the hours before. - Don't use binoculars or a telescope. Meteors can appear anywhere in the sky. The best thing is to lie down on the ground (a foam pad and sleeping bag may help) with a view of as much of the sky as possible, and enjoy the show. In most years, the three best meteor showers are the following (along with their peak times for 2008): Quadrantids January 4 2 AM EST Perseids August 12 7 AM EDT Geminids December 13 6 PM EST You should look not necessarily at the peak time, but at the dark hours (particularly the AM dark hours) closest to the peak time. The Perseids in 2008 occur 4 days before full moon, so the best time to look is after the moon sets on the morning of August 12. There will be a little over 3.5 hours of dark sky between moonset and the start of twilight. The Perseids have a broad peak, so there will be meteors visible in the days before and after August 12, but the morning of August 12 should be best. The Geminids in 2008 peak one day after full moon, so it's not a good year for this shower. Try it again some other year. 2009 will be very good, and 2010 will be excellent. People often don't understand why there are more meteors late at night than early. Around 6 AM local time, your part of earth is facing forward in the earth's orbit around the sun. At 6 PM local time, it's facing backwards. The windshield of a car picks up more bugs than the back window, and the geometry of the earth with meteors is similar. -- edit I mentioned that the Quadrantids peaked at 2 AM EST on January 4. This information came from the Observer's Handbook. I just noticed that the web site http://spaceweather.com says that the actual peak was 9 PM EST (=0200 UT) on January 3. Experts may disagree by a few hours on predicting the peak of a shower. Also, even if 9 PM on Jan 3 was the peak, that would have been a bad time to watch the shower because the radiant (the point from which meteors appear to originate) is below the horizon at that time, and doesn't get well above the horizon until the AM hours. Thus, for both predictions, the morning hours of January 4 were the best time to watch the shower from eastern North America this year. It wouldn't have hurt, however, to start looking about 10 PM EST January 3, when the radiant first appeared above the horizon; it all depends on how much of the night you want to spend looking for meteors. -- edit You asked when it will appear next time. I've already mentioned the other best meteor showers in 2008. Now I'll describe the prospects for the Quadrantids for the next few years from eastern North America. Based on this year's time for the Quadrantids as listed in the Observer's Handbook, one would expect the peaks in the coming years to occur as follows (but keep in mind that this year's peak came 5 hours earlier): 2009 Jan 3, 8 AM EST 2010 Jan 3, 2 PM EST 2011 Jan 3, 8 PM EST 2012 Jan 4, 2 AM EST Of these four years, the best for eastern North America are 2009 and 2012. 2011 might be good, and 2010 is poor. 2009: The best time to look is in the morning of January 3. The moon will be down, so this is a very good time to watch the shower -- perhaps from 2 AM until dawn. You'd have an excellent chance of seeing the shower at or near its peak. 2010: If the peak comes at 2 PM, this is not favorable for people in the eastern time zone. If it comes a few hours early, then the morning of January 3 would be good -- especially the couple of hours before the start of twilight. Unfortunately, there is a bright moon at that time, so 2010 is a poor year for the Quadrantids. 2011: If the peak is at 8 PM on January 3, then the best time to watch is that evening, starting around 11 PM or midnight and continuing into the morning of January 4. The moon will not interfere. If the peak comes 5 hours early, then the timing is really bad for eastern North America. The couple of hours before twilight on the morning of January 3 would be the best time. The crescent moon rises about 5 AM. 2012: The morning of January 4 is good after the moon sets (about 3:15 AM). If the peak comes on schedule or a bit late, it will be an excellent shower. If it comes early, the numbers of meteors will be reduced somewhat. These are my best guesses, and they should be quite accurate; but shortly before the shower, you should check other sources of information like the following: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/ http://spaceweather.com/ Also, maybe the meteors will surprise us and come a few hours after the times I mentioned. You don't know unless you look.

Whats the best time for me to view the The QUADRANTID Meteor Shower?

I live in Florida. I would like to know; When is the best time for me to view the meteor shower? I heard that its taking place on Jan. 3rd, but I dont think the East Coast can view the shower as well as the West Coast & across the Pacific Ocean. Also, what exactly would I need to view it? Possibly binoculars? Or maybe a telescope? (Im getting a telescope for Christmas, so no worries there!) Thank you. (:
Answer: January 3 and 4, after midnight. The Quadrantids (or most meteor showers) are not worth travelling any distance to see, as long as you have a dark sky location. All you need to view it is your eyes. Meteors are too fast to be viewed by binoculars or a telescope: by the time you get it pointed, they're gone. What kind of telescope are you getting? I hope you've been following the advice we give here!

Core of a Comet Lights Up Januarys Night Sky

Before the sun rises on Sunday, the Quadrantid meteors will make their yearly appearance, about one a minute streaking across the dark sky. A California astronomer says he has finally figured out where all those streaks of light came from. The light shows occur when Earth crosses debris trails left by comets. The Perseids of August come from Comet - Dr Peter Jenniskens, SETI Institute (Mountain View, Calif) astronomer, holds that 2003 EHI, asteroid discovered in March 2003, is responsible for Quadrantid meteors; research, published in Astronomical Journal, explains how large mass of debris and young age of meteor grouping point to asteroid being burnt-out core of comet that was observed in China, Japan and Korea in 1490 and 1491 and never witnessed again; photo (M) - By KENNETH CHANG
