The Quadrantid meteor shower

[lurker]

The Quadrantid meteor shower is one of the year's best, regularly producing 50 to 120 meteors per hour. Tomorrow early morning it will be visible. It's a brief shower because we travel through the ice debris at a right angle to it. No moon to interfer with it. Good viewing for the early birds.

Kinda off subject, but I noticed an observatiory out at dccc??? looks very nice from outside. Anyone know if you have to take courses they have or if the public can ever use it?

Dr. Stephen Crane is the Physical Science instructor. It wouldn't hurt to ask him.
