Unlike other meteor showers that last for several days, the Quadrantids have a relatively short peak, lasting only a few hours.
This brief yet intense display makes it a must-see for stargazers.
The Quadrantid meteor shower typically peaks around January 3rd to 4th. The peak time is crucial as the meteor activity can increase dramatically.
For 2024, the peak is expected to occur on the night of January 3rd and the early hours of January 4th.
