STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: NASA says best time to watch is between 3 a.m. and dawn
- The Quadrantid meteor shower will peak early Thursday morning
- The Quadrantids enter the atmosphere each January, burning up at 90,000 mph
- This year, much of the world can see the show, if light from the moon doesn't interfere
This year's show in the
sky may not produce as many highlights for some viewers because of light
from the moon, NASA said in a statement.
Meteor watchers can expect to see 60 to 200 meteors an hour streak across the sky, NASA said.
Bill Cooke, the head of NASA's Meteoroid Environment Office,
said by e-mail that the shooting stars would be visible after about 11
p.m. in each time zone in the United States, with the best viewing time
from 3 a.m. until dawn.
The Quadrantids were
first noted in 1825 and got their name from the constellation of
Quadrans Muralis, which is no longer considered a constellation by
astronomers, according to NASA.
The material that is
burning up in Earth's atmosphere during the Quadrantids likely comes
from a comet that broke into fragments centuries ago, NASA says.
"After hundreds of years
orbiting the sun, they will enter our atmosphere at 90,000 mph, burning
up 50 miles above Earth's surface," NASA said.
The space agency said observers at latitudes north of 51 degrees south should be able to see the meteor shower.
NASA and Ustream will
have a webcast from Wednesday through Friday with one view of the meteor
shower. The camera is mounted in Huntsville, Alabama, at the Marshall
Space Flight Center.
