The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Seoul around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Seoul the radiant in Boötes climbs to 58° above the north-east horizon around 06:10. Local best viewing window: 02:45–06:10 KST on the peak night, about 3.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 93 meteors an hour from Seoul under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: limited visibility; a site a short drive away may do better.

- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
