Re: Quadrantids Meteor Shower

http://www.spaceweather.com/meteors/qua … .html]Look NE at 2:00 a.m.  :-\

*One of the year's best meteor showers, visible to western North America [Will not be visible to folks in the southern hemisphere as it occurs near northern circumpolar constellations].  Averages 50 to 120 meteors per hour, though the peak of activity is very brief -- few hours' time. 

I get up early in the a.m., so will step outdoors and take a look. 

This shower occurs in an "extinct constellation."  I remember the last time this meteor shower rolled around (I didn't catch it)...has an entire year passed again, already??
