All day
Peak: January 3, 1928, around 18:00 UTC — up to about 80 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 85% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. 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.
