First Meteor Shower Of The Year Peaks This Weekend

Get ready, skywatchers! The first meteor shower of 2015 is about to peak! The Quadrantids meteor shower has been visible since the 1st and will run through the 5th, but the best time to view will be overnight on the 3rd, into the pre-dawn hours of the 4th. There will be roughly 80 meteors per hour during the peak. Bundle up, grab some friends, and head outside to check out the show! The meteors of the Quadrantids are leftover remnants of the extinct Comet 2003 EH1, which made its closest approach with Earth this past March. The meteors will appear to be originating in the northern sky from the Boötes. However, the meteors should be visible throughout the sky. Unfortunately, the meteor shower will be competing with light from the moon, which will be full on 5th. This will wash out many of the meteors that will occur, though the brightest ones should be visible.

Visible anywhere in North America? Or the world?

The world I think. I didn't read too much into it.
It doesn't matter here where I live because its been raining for almost 3 days now. Too cloudy.

The one a few weeks ago was the shite. Watch it at the camp where it is pitch black when I turn the outside lights off. Saw hundreds between 8 and 12
