The first and one of the most prolific meteor showers of 2025 will peak tonight, bringing super-bright fireballs and regular shooting stars.
The Quadrantid meteor shower is not particularly well known, running from Dec. 26, 2024, through Jan. 16, 2025, according to the American Meteor Society. That's largely because they occur for Northern Hemisphere observers during a time of cold and often cloudy weather.
