Peak: January 3, 1919, around 10:00 UTC — up to about 80 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 1% lit: a dark sky: a good year for the Quadrantids. Meteors seem to come from Boötes; the debris is from asteroid 2003 EH1. A sharp peak of only a few hours, best seen from the Northern Hemisphere. Peak times and rates: the International Meteor Organization's working list.
