 Space Weather News for Jan. 3, 2008
Earth is about to pass through a stream of dusty debris from near-Earth asteroid 2003 EH1, producing the annual Quadrantid meteor shower.
Forecasters expect a brief but intense peak of 50+ meteors per hour over Earth's northern hemisphere sometime between 0200 UTC and 0700 UTC on Friday morning, Jan. 4th. (Subtract 5 hours to convert UTC to EST.) The timing favors observers in the eastern USA, Europe and western parts of Asia.
Winter storms frequently hide this shower from observers on the
ground. To avoid such problems, a team of astronomers led by Peter
Jenniskens of the SETI Institute plan to fly a plane above the clouds
where they can train their cameras on the Quadrantids. Their data may
reveal whether asteroid 2003 EH1 is the fragment of a broken-apart
comet. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps and more information.
This could cause some strange conditions!.
