Meteor showers ahead brighten winter sky observers
Knight Ridder reports a bright full moon on January 9 outshines December 1999's moon. A Quadrantid shower peaks around January 3 to 4, while the International Space Station will be visible nightly in early January, weather permitting, for about two minutes at 6 p.m. CST. Astronomers note the moon’s elliptical orbit intensifies its glow and invite stargazers to watch among planned celestial sights.
