Today's moon, which will be 94 percent illuminated, is far from ideal for spotting meteors, as the moonlight will block out all but the brightest space stars in the sky.

Unlike most other showers, which originate from debris left behind by comets, the Quadrantids come from the asteroid 2003 EH1, first observed by Chinese astronomers more than 500 years ago.

There are six to ten 'sporadic' meteors per night throughout the year, but during a 'meteor shower' this increases dramatically.
