Quadrantid Meteor Shower 2012

Just a quick little post to start off 2012.  The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks tomorrow morning between 2:00 and 3:00 AM EST.  The moon will have set by this time to allow this shower to display nicely.  2011's major showers were mostly washed out from the bright moon, if you remember.  If you can get up to take a peek, it may be worth it.  This shower is capable of producing 50-100 meteors per hour! You can read more here.  Good luck and stay warm!
