RESTATING MY MESSAGE ABOUT DYSLEXIA

I am aware there are some spelling and grammar typos and occasional other glitches. I take responsibility for my mistakes and even the computer glitches I may miss. I have made a few public statements over the years, but if you are new here, you may have missed it: I have dyslexia and found out during my second year at Cornell University. It didn’t stop me from getting my meteorology degree and being the first to get the AMS CBM in the Baltimore/Washington region. One of my professors told me that I had made it that far without knowing and to not let it be a crutch going forward. That was Mark Wysocki, and he was absolutely correct! I do miss my mistakes in my own proofreading. The autocorrect spell check on my computer sometimes does an injustice to make it worse. I also can make mistakes in forecasting. No one is perfect at predicting the future. All of the maps and information are accurate. The ‘wordy’ stuff can get sticky. There has been no editor who can check my work while writing and to have it ready to send out in a newsworthy timeline. Barbara Werner is a member of the web team that helps me maintain this site. She has taken it upon herself to edit typos when she is available. That could be AFTER you read this. I accept this and perhaps proves what you read is really from me… It’s part of my charm. #FITF

As we approach the middle of January, Mother Nature seems to be giving us a taste of all types of weather in just a few days. On January 17, a mild air mass is expected to bring rain showers to our area, providing a break from the winter chill. But don’t get too comfortable, because a shift in the weather pattern is on the horizon.

By Sunday, forecasters are predicting a change in the air mass, leading to a significant drop in temperatures and the potential for snowfall. This sudden shift from rain to snow serves as a reminder that winter is far from over and that we must remain prepared for whatever weather may come our way.

As we brace ourselves for the upcoming snowfall, it’s important to stay informed about any potential weather advisories or warnings in our area. Be sure to check in with local news outlets and meteorologists for the latest updates and stay safe during this transition from mild air to polar air.

Quadrantids, 1st meteor shower of 2025, expected to peak tonight: How to watch

Stargazers can ring in the beginning of 2025 by witnessing the first meteor shower of the year.

The Quadrantids, one of the “strongest” displays of the year, are expected to peak Thursday night through early Friday morning, according to the American Meteor Society (AMS).

Peak activity is predicted to occur from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. EST, during which the Quadrantids can produce about 120 meteors per hour, according to the AMS.

However, the peak is typically a much shorter timeframe than other meteor showers, according to NASA. Most meteor showers have a two-day peak, but the Quadrantids only peak for a few hours due to the shower’s thin stream of particles — and because Earth crosses the stream at a perpendicular angle.

Therefore, Earth passes through the densest portion of the stream quickly, according to the AMS.

Where do the Quadrantids come from?

The Quadrantids originate from asteroid 2003 EH1, unlike most meteor showers, which originate from comets, according to NASA. Asteroid 2003 EH1 takes about 5.52 years to orbit the Sun and could be a “dead comet” or “rock comet,” a rare celestial body that exhibits characteristics of both an asteroid and a comet.

The “small” asteroid, with a diameter measuring only about two miles, was discovered in March 2003. Quadrantid meteors were first seen in 1825, according to NASA.

The Quadrantids are considered among astronomers as one of the “best” annual meteor showers, according to NASA. They peak every year in early January and can produce 60 to as many as 200 meteors per hour under perfect conditions.

They are also known for their bright fireballs, according to NASA. The Quadrantids originate from larger particles of material, which result in larger explosions of light and color that can persist longer than an average meteor streak.

How to view the Quadrantids

The radiant for Quadrantids — the point in the sky from which the meteors appear to originate — is an obsolete constellation called “Quadrans Muralis,” located between the constellations of Bootes and Draco.

The best way to view the Quadrantids is from the Northern Hemisphere during the predawn hours, as this area of the sky lies very low in the northwest in the evening. But as night progresses, the sky swings 40 degrees beneath the northern celestial pole before beginning a slow rise into the northeastern sky, according to the AMS.

“It is between this time and dawn that you will have your best chance to view these meteors,” according to the AMS.

A waning crescent moon will allow skies to remain dark for good viewing conditions as long as clouds do not hamper visibility.

Viewers can lie flat on their back with feet facing northeast to take in as much of the night sky as possible, NASA said.

“By facing this direction you be able to see meteors shoot out of the radiant in all directions,” the AMS said.

With peak activity expected between 15:00 and 18:00 Universal Time, viewers in the Pacific area, including the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska, are favored to have the best viewing conditions, according to the AMS.

It is important to allow eyes to adjust to the dark for at least 30 minutes to allow for be viewing conditions, according to NASA. “Serious observers” should watch for at least an hour, as numerous peaks and valleys will occur, according to the AMS.

The Quadrantids meteor shower, the first meteor shower of 2025, is expected to peak tonight, January 3rd into the early hours of January 4th. This annual meteor shower is known for its bright fireballs and fast-moving meteors, making it a must-see event for stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts.

If you’re looking to catch a glimpse of the Quadrantids tonight, here are some tips on how to watch:

1. Find a dark location away from city lights to maximize your chances of seeing the meteors. The darker the sky, the better the show will be.

2. Give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness – it can take up to 20 minutes for your eyes to fully adapt to low-light conditions.

3. Look towards the northern sky, near the Big Dipper constellation, where the radiant point of the Quadrantids meteor shower will be located.

4. Bring a blanket or chair to sit or lie down comfortably while watching the meteor shower. It may take some time for the meteors to appear, so be patient and enjoy the night sky.

5. Be prepared for cold weather – dress warmly and bring hot drinks or snacks to keep yourself cozy during your meteor-watching session.

Remember, meteor showers are unpredictable, so there’s no guarantee of how many meteors you’ll see or when they’ll appear. But with a little patience and luck, you might just catch a spectacular show in the night sky tonight. Happy stargazing! #Quadrantids2025 #MeteorShower #Stargazing

Blue Fireballs To Light Up The Skies As Meteor Shower Peaks
The Quadrantid meteor shower runs from Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, through Sunday, Jan. 12, 2025.

getty

The first meteor shower of 2025 has the potential not only to be the best of the year but to feature blue-colored “fireballs,” according to scientists.

The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Friday night, January 3, 2025. It can feature up to 120 meteors per hour under ideal conditions.

“The Quadrantids are known for their bright fireball meteors, which can appear blue,” said Dr. Shyam Balaji, an astroparticle physics and cosmology researcher at King’s College London, in an email. “This blue color is due to the high velocity of the meteors (about 41 km/s) and the presence of certain elements like magnesium and iron in the meteoroids, which emit blue light when they burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.”

According to the American Meteor Society, Quadrantids have the potential to be the strongest shower of the year,

When To See The Quadrantid Meteor Shower Peak

Dr. Balaji explained that the best time to view the Quadrantids will be from late night on January 3 to dawn on January 4, 2025. During this window, the radiant point below the Big Dipper between the constellations Boötes and Draco will be well-positioned in the northeastern sky.

Adding to the favorable conditions is the moon phase. On January 4, there will be a 16% illuminated waning crescent moon setting early, meaning a dark sky for most of the night.

How To See The Quadrantid Meteor Shower Peak

To catch the Quadrantids in their full glory, seek a dark location away from city lights. Dress warmly, as January nights can be chilly, and bring a reclining chair or blanket for comfortable stargazing. Patience is key; allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for at least 20 minutes.

According to NASA, here’s how best to approach meteor shower viewing:
- Avoid urban light pollution (consider visiting an International Dark Sky Park).
- Find a location with a clear, unobstructed view of the night sky.
- Dress warmly — it may get freezing.
- Be patient and watch for at least half an hour, preferably on a reclining chair or ground pad.
- Do not try to use a telescope or binoculars — they significantly reduce your chances of seeing “shooting stars.”
- Avoid looking at your cellphone or any other white light — it will instantly destroy your night vision. Use red light only.
Where To See The Quadrantid Meteor Shower Peak

Unlike most meteor showers named after constellations, the Quadrantids derive their name from the obsolete constellation called Quadrans Muralis. Its shooting stars and fireballs radiate from close to the end of the handle of the Big Dipper but can be seen anywhere in the night sky.

Their parent body is believed to be asteroid 2003 EH1, making the Quadrantids one of the few meteor showers originating from an asteroid rather than a comet.

Wishing you clear skies and wide eyes.
Get ready for a stunning display in the night sky as the annual meteor shower peaks this weekend. The Perseid meteor shower is set to dazzle stargazers with a special twist this year – blue fireballs will be lighting up the skies.

These blue fireballs are caused by larger fragments of debris entering the Earth’s atmosphere at high speeds, creating a bright and colorful show. The Perseids are known for their fast and bright meteors, making them one of the most popular meteor showers of the year.

So grab a blanket, find a dark spot away from city lights, and look up to the heavens to catch a glimpse of these mesmerizing blue fireballs streaking across the sky. Don’t forget to make a wish upon a shooting star and enjoy the celestial spectacle this weekend. Happy stargazing! #PerseidMeteorShower #BlueFireballs #Stargazing

January stargazing guide: Peak of Quadrantid meteor shower, first full Moon of year
NASA visualization shows the Moon’s phases in 2025 (NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center)

The first month of the new year will offer a series of spectacular celestial events for stargazers.

The month kicks off with the Quadrantid meteor shower, peaking on Jan. 2 and 3, offering a dazzling display of meteors if skies are clear.

Mid-month, the first full Moon of the year will rise, and the Red Planet of our solar system will make its closest approach to Earth.

Finally, a planetary parade featuring Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will grace the skies towards the end of the calendar month.

DON’T MISS THESE CELESTIAL EVENTS IN 2025

January 2nd-3rd: Quadrantid meteor shower peak

The annual meteor shower, which began in December, peaks in early January every year.

Some skygazers consider the meteor shower the best of the year because of the lack of moonlight, but the event’s peak only lasts a few hours each night.

NASA said that during the height of activity, dozens of meteors can be seen every hour if the skies are clear and there is minimal light pollution.

The event is usually one of the five major meteor showers of the year.

January 13th: Full Wolf Moon

The first full Moon of the year will rise in the east on Jan. 13 and peak at 5:27 p.m. EST, meaning the best viewing in North America will be on that Monday evening after the Sun sets.

According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the nickname originates from the time period when Native Americans noticed wolves howling in hunger at the Moon.

Other notable names for the lunar body include the Center Moon and the Cold Moon – all serve as reminders that the Northern Hemisphere is in the heart of winter.

January 16th: Mars closest approach to Earth

The Red Planet will make its closest approach to Earth in mid-January, when the planet will be around some 58 million miles away.

Mars’ opposition occurs roughly every two years and will be visible nearly the entire night.

NASA says the planet appears reddish due to the oxidization of iron in its many rocks.

January 22nd: Planetary parade peak

The planets of Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be visible without the use of sophisticated equipment.

The four planets will be visible for most from after sunset to just before midnight.

Several of the heavenly bodies will continue to be visible well into February.

Additionally, Neptune and Uranus will be visible from Earth but only with the use of an advanced telescope or similar device.

Astronomers say the newly discovered object 2024 PT will loop around Earth beginning in late September through most of November.

As we kick off the new year, January brings us some exciting celestial events to look forward to in the night sky. Here is your guide to stargazing in January:

1. Peak of Quadrantid meteor shower (January 3-4): The Quadrantid meteor shower is known for its bright fireballs and can produce up to 100 meteors per hour at its peak. This year, the peak is expected to occur on the night of January 3rd into the early morning hours of January 4th. Be sure to find a dark location away from city lights for the best viewing experience.

2. First full Moon of the year (January 17): The first full Moon of 2022, also known as the Wolf Moon, will be visible on January 17th. This is a great opportunity to observe the Moon in all its glory and perhaps even try your hand at some lunar photography.

Remember to dress warmly, bring a blanket or chair to sit on, and allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness for optimal stargazing. Happy stargazing, and may your January nights be filled with wonder and awe! #stargazing #January #meteorshower #fullmoon

While 2024 may have set the astrotourism bar high, 2025 has a host of night-sky marvels in store, too — including many that are set to grace our skies this month.

January has a meteor shower, top-notch planet sightings, and a planet parade on the docket. What’s even more exciting: the recent northern lights activity shows no signs of slowing down, as we’re smack-dab in the middle of the sun’s peak activity period known as “solar maximum.” If you want to see the northern lights, 2025 is the year to make it happen, and here are our favorite places to plan your aurora-hunting trip.

Read on for a handful of January night-sky sights to kick off 2025 with a bang — or, better yet, a shooting star.

Jan. 2-3: Quadrantid Meteor Shower

Kick off the New Year with a spectacular show as the Quadrantid meteor shower peaks between Jan. 2-3. The entire shower runs until Jan. 16, but this Jan. 2-3 night is your best bet for “shooting stars” and fireballs — particularly with the relatively dim waxing crescent moon, which is only 11 percent full, according to the American Meteor Society. The Quadrantids can produce an average of 25 meteors per hour at peak, and under dark skies. The shower is known for its bright fireballs. To catch the spectacle, watch the northeast sky late on Jan. 2 and early Jan. 3.

Jan. 4: Saturn-moon meetup

Come Jan. 4, point your eyes to the southern sky as Saturn and the moon will seemingly “meet” just after sundown. Both will appear within one binocular field of view, according to astronomy site When the Curves Line Up, although you’ll need a telescope to see planet details like Saturn’s dazzling rings. Don’t miss bright Venus just below the duo.

Jan. 10: Venus Reaches Greatest Eastern Elongation

On the evening of Jan. 10, Venus will reach its greatest eastern elongation — its easternmost distance from the sun. This is one of the best times of the year for Venus viewing. Catch the planet just below Saturn in the southwest sky after sunset; it will set beneath the western horizon around 9:30 p.m., according to stargazing site Stellarium.

Jan. 13: Full Wolf Moon

January’s full moon is known as the wolf moon for the likelihood of hearing wolves around this time. It reaches its fullest at 5:27 p.m. EST on Jan. 13, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac. You can spot it above the eastern horizon once the sun sets. And, if you want to increase your odds of actually hearing a wolf this night, head to Yellowstone — it’s among the best places in the U.S. to experience the elusive canines.

Jan. 15-16: Mars reaches opposition

Get ready for the best Mars viewing of the year — and for the next two years — from Jan. 15-16. The red planet only reaches opposition (when Earth is between the sun and a planet) every two years, according to EarthSky. That means Mars will be brighter and more viewable than normal come mid-January. It will rise just after sunset above the eastern horizon and will move toward the western horizon until dawn. Mars officially reaches opposition at 10 p.m. EST on Jan. 15. You can see Mars with the naked eye, but stargazing binoculars or a telescope will enhance your view.

Jan. 21: Planet Parade

Catch six planets — Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, Saturn, and Uranus — simultaneously traveling through the sky on the night of Jan. 21. The planets will appear after sunset until around 9 p.m. local time. You can admire all but Uranus and Neptune with the naked eye, although, like Mars’ opposition, viewing through binoculars or a telescope will help you better admire all of the planets.

Get ready to kick off the new year with some celestial wonders! January is shaping up to be an exciting month for stargazers, with plenty of astronomical events to look forward to.

First up, mark your calendars for the first meteor shower of the year – the Quadrantid meteor shower. Peaking on the night of January 3rd and into the early morning hours of January 4th, this annual shower is known for producing bright, colorful fireballs and can be seen from both hemispheres. Bundle up, grab a blanket and a hot drink, and head outside to catch a glimpse of this dazzling display.

But that’s not all – January is also a great time to catch a glimpse of six planets in one night. Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus will all be visible in the night sky throughout the month. With a pair of binoculars or a small telescope, you can easily spot these planets as they twinkle against the backdrop of the stars.

And if you’re a fan of lunar events, be sure to keep an eye out for the full Wolf Moon on January 17th. Named after the howling of wolves during the cold winter nights, this full moon is a sight to behold and a great opportunity for moonlit strolls or late-night skywatching.

So, whether you’re a seasoned astronomer or just looking to marvel at the beauty of the night sky, January has something for everyone. Grab your telescope, bundle up, and get ready to witness the wonders of the cosmos in the first month of the year.
