Summary
| Description |
English: The radiant point of the Quadrantid meteor shower is near the Big Dipper asterism and the bright star Arcturus in the constellation Bootes. At the time of the Quadrantids peak each year (early January), you will find this radiant in the northeast shortly after midnight. The radiant for this shower was once considered to be in the constellation Quadrans Muralis (the Mural Quadrant), but this constellation is now obsolete. It is not one of the 88 official constellations designated by the International Astronomical Union in 1922 and adopted in 1930. |
