Known for bright “fireball meteors,” the Quadrantids peak at 60-200 meteors per hour! January also promises views of all the bright planets: Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and even Uranus and Neptune! This stargazing event will showcase winter skies at their finest.
Cultures across the world and throughout time are united in a fascination with the night sky. Humans have used stars to mark the passage of time, tell stories, build mythologies, and navigate across vast dark oceans. With powerful telescopes and a wealth of knowledge, Bob Piekiel is your tour guide to the stars and planets, revealing the secrets of the far away, inspiring us to think about how special our little green and blue ball in space is.
