In what constellation is the predominate meteor shower , early january 2011 ?

In australia ?In what constellation is the predominate meteor shower , early january 2011 ?Quadrans Mrualis, but that one isn't one of the currently recognized official 88 constallations.



But that's where the name Quadrantids comes from.





The radiant is located in Bootes.



But this question is a misnomer. Meteors associated with a particular shower appear as far as 190 degrees from the radiant, several constellations away. You look at the whole sky to see numbers close th the ZHR. If you fixate on the radiant, you'll miss more than 80% of them.In what constellation is the predominate meteor shower , early january 2011 ?It will be in the Constellation Bootes and you should see about 40 meteors per hour on average. It is called the Quadrantids Meteor Shower and the Date of Maximum intensity will be on January 3rd.In what constellation is the predominate meteor shower , early january 2011 ?In Bootes, which I think for Australia, might be below the horizon. You might see a few coming up over the northern horizon however.
