83% Informative

Quadrantid meteor shower is one of " Earth 's most spectacular" meteor showers.

Meteors are the result of small particles entering the Earth 's atmosphere at high speed and heating up due to friction with air.

They are usually destroyed in under a second at altitudes above 80km - but the superheated air around the meteor glows briefly, and is visible as a "shooting star".
