Backyard Astronomer: January

2m | 2013 | TV-PG

Learn about the Quadrantid meteor shower. Every February, Quadrantids are visible in the night sky. Also learn about the Pleiades and the seven stars known as the Seven Sisters. Note that the moon's light can wash out distant objects so the best nights for visibility are when the night's sky is the darkest.
