[HCDX] Quadrantid Meteors

["Mike Terry" <miketerry73@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On Monday morning, January 3, 2005, Earth will glide through a cloud of
dusty debris trailing asteroid 2003 EH1, causing a brief meteor shower over
central and western parts of North America.  The best time to look is during
the hours around 4 o'clock in the morning PST (6 a.m. CST or 1200 GMT).
Observers with dark skies might see a meteor every one or two minutes.

Astronomers call this annual shower "the Quadrantids" because it radiates
from the extinct constellation Quadrans Muralis.

FM and TV DXers might wish to check for meteor scatter propagation.
