How to Observe the Quadrantids Meteor Shower in 2024

Get ready for the Quadrantids meteor shower, one of the three major meteor showers of the year, which will take place between December 28, 2023, and January 12, 2024, with the peak on January 3rd. The shower will be visible from anywhere in the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, as well as in the Canary Islands. To see the meteors, look towards the constellation of Bootes, near the tail of the Big Dipper, with a clear and dark sky, away from light pollution. The best time to observe the shower in Spain will be in the early hours of January 4th. With up to 120 meteors per hour, it's an event not to be missed.
