The Quadrantid meteor shower is going to show over the next few days after New Years. This celestial display comes every January and is short, but sweet. The meteor shower is expected reach the peak activity between midnight and dawn on January 3 and 4. Unfortunately, the people in the Southern Hemisphere, it can only be seen by the Northern Hemisphere. The meteors are named after the constellation they appear to radiate from. These meteors appear from the location of the former Quadrans Muralis constellation. However, the constellation no longer exists. In the 1920s, the International Astronomical Union rewrote the official definitions into 88 constellations and abolished 30 of them, including the Quadrans Muralis.

I think meteor showers are the best. Stuff like this gets more people looking up at the sky and turning off their lights to see clearer. This topic is positive as it teaches us about important events. It also expands our knowledge on the sky. It doesn't change many people's lives, but it might change some. Some people will turn off their lights, which helps the climate if it happens a lot, and some might want to get a job in this region. I think it's also great how if you can't see it cause you're south of the equator, they can still show you what's happening.
