QUADRANTID meteor shower

“Shooting stars” that emanate from the brilliant Quadrantid meteor will kick off a new year of skywatching in the country.

According to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical, and Astronomical Services Administration, the annual Quadrantid meteor shower will be active until Tuesday.

Meteors or “falling stars” can be seen at the rate of up to 40 meteors per hour.

The shower will appear to radiate from the constellation of Bootes, which is below the Big Dipper constellation, in the northeast horizon.
