Quadrantid meteor shower 2008

The Quadrantid meteor shower is predicted to reach maximum in the predawn on Friday, January 4,2008. The Quadrantid is infamously unpredictable but this could be the big kahuna for 2008 which will be a brightly display of beauty. Yes, this will be the best meteor shower of 2008.The Quadrantid (pronounced KWA-dran-tid) meteor shower provides one of the most intense annual meteor displays, with a brief, sharp maximum lasting but a few hours. The timing of peak activity favors Western Europe and eastern North America. Weather permitting, skywatchers in rural locations could see one or two shooting stars every minute during its peak. This is going to be the biggest and best meteor shower for 2008. Get out your telescope, binocular and camera. This is sure to be full of eye candy and worth the effort of capturing the moment.
