Prepare your eyes for a celestial show as the Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on January 3, 2025! Renowned for its bright meteors and high hourly rate, the Quadrantids are set to deliver an unforgettable experience, and you can witness it all from the comfort of your own home!

The magic will happen on the night of January 2-3, 2025, when the Quadrantid meteors reach their zenith in a moonless sky. This is a fortunate alignment, as the darkness will offer optimal conditions for viewing this cosmic phenomenon. With up to 120 meteors per hour at peak times, you won’t want to miss the chance to see these shooting stars dart across the sky.

The Virtual Telescope Project is here to make sure you don't miss a moment! We will be offering a free live broadcast of the meteor shower, showcasing our state-of-the-art wide field camera, located in Manciano, Italy. Known for its incredibly dark skies, this location will maximize your viewing experience as we search for meteors to display live on your screen.

Join us for this exciting online event on January 3, 2025, starting at 17:00 UT. This is the perfect opportunity to see nature's fireworks at their best, as we hope to capture stunning meteor tails lighting up the night sky.

As always, weather conditions can be unpredictable. In the event of inclement weather, our live stream will be canceled, so be sure to check the forecast leading up to the date!

Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare to watch the wonders of the universe unfold. All you need to do on the day is visit our webTV page at the designated time, and let the spectacle enchant you from wherever you are.
