Who is going to try to watch the Quadrantid meteors early tomorrow morning?

Asked by gailcalled (54644points) January 3rd, 2012

If the skies are clear, if you live in the NE US and if you can stand 1˚ temperatures, it will be a good show. You need a clear view to the NE, between the N. star and the Big Dipper.

I am going to try, in spite of the frigid temperatures. I hope anyone who sees them will tell us about your experience.

I am planning to try if I’m still awake.

I might be out to look, I have to check and make sure the water pipes aren’t getting slushy, 18 *F tonight.

When is the peak supposed to be?

It says it’ll be easy to see from the east….but I can’t figure out if it’s worth me trying to see it from here in Colorado?

@Russell D SpacePoet: Visible and peaking simultaneously between 3:00 AM EST when the moon sets and dawn, when the sun rises.

@deni: Call your local newspaper; they should have info.

@Tropical Willie: 18˚F is positively tropical compared to our 2˚ F.
