The New Year’s fireworks aren’t over yet as the first major meteor shower of 2017 looks set to light up the night sky in North America and Asia. Taking place over January 3 and 4, the Quadrantid shower could see more than 100 shooting stars per hour. Originating near the North Star, the shower will be visible mainly in the Northern Hemisphere, with North America expected to be able to view it early on January 3 and Asia late on January 4, according to NASA.

Article said the peak lasts for only about an hour to the path of the comet that supplied the debris.

That's Venus. The reddish one between them is Mars.

In 2017, the first major shower of the year, the Quadrantids, will peak on the night of January 3 and early morning hours of January 4. The Quadrantids peak around Jan 3 to 4. A Waxing Crescent Moon will make for good viewing conditions. Astronomers suggest that observers try their luck after nightfall January 3 to 4.
