Quadrantid

Stargazers may also be able to spot shooting stars blazing across the skies, as the Quadrantid meteor shower continues.

If you have already found yourself looking upwards over the past few nights you might have been lucky enough to have spotted some of the Quadrantid meteors shoot across the sky.

We kick start 2025 with the annual Quadrantid meteor shower.

The year starts with the Quadrantid meteor shower, named after Quadrans Muralis, an archaic constellation that modern astronomers lump in with the constellation known as Boötes.

The Quadrantid meteor shower reached its peak last night with dozens of visible meteors per hour.
