Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows the Quadrantids, spreading out from the radiant. This regular meteor shower is named for a constellation that has fallen out of favor (Quadrans Muralis). I did not spot any falling stars on the morning dog walk, but get out there and see Venus (very bright) and Jupiter (not quite as bright) in the eastern sky. An additional treat was a pass of the International Space Station (which lasted nearly the entire journey through my sky).
