The year's first meteor shower can be witnessed on Thursday, January 4. The United Arab Emirates is a fantastic location for stargazing because it is located in the northern hemisphere. To witness the Quadrantid meteor shower, you only need a good view of the night sky and a location away from strong lights.
In addition to learning about this meteor shower, the Dubai Astronomy Group is hosting an event in the Al Qudra Desert where attendees can also learn about constellations in general.
NASA notes that the Quadrantids meteor shower is well-known for dazzling fireball meteors. Compared to other meteor showers, they last slightly longer. It says, "This is because larger particles of material are the source of fireballs."
