"star" well off to the left (east) and slightly 

 below the waxing crescent moon. The 

 brighter planet Mercury will be near Sat- 

 urn by month's end. 



Uranus and Neptune are in conjunc- 

 tion with the sun on the 1 1th and 12th. 



Piuto is hidden near the tail star of the 

 faint constellation Serpens, not far from 

 Jupiter Pluto will remain in this position 

 throughout 1994, making its way slowly 

 eastward toward the constellation Ophi- 

 uchus, and will remain closer to us than 

 Neptune. 



The Moon reaches last quarter on the 

 4th at 7:00 P.M., EST; is new on the 1 1th at 

 6: 10 P.M., EST; reaches first quarter at 3:27

The Quadrantid meteor shower is one 

 of the year's most potent. This shower ap- 

 pears to emanate from a point between the 

 constellations Bootes, Draco, and Her- 

 cules. The name of the shower is from 

 Quadrans Murahs (the wall quadrant), an 

 eighteenth-century constellation created 

 in a failed attempt to rename the classical 

 constellations. The Quandrantid meteors 

 are characteristically blue in color and 

 leave long silver trails. The shower has 

 been known to reach rates of 100 meteors 

 per hour, but usually for only a few hours 

 during the peak of the shower. This year 

 the Quadrantids will peak on January 3 at 

 12:00 noon, EST. Before sunrise on this 

 date, the Quadrantids are likely to be only 

 about a quarter as numerous as during the 

 peak. The bright, waning gibbous moon in 

 the sky will not help. Parent comets have 

 been identified as the source of meteors in 

 other showers, but not for this one.
