Happy New Year from Seattle Astronomy!

The New York Times has published a useful article and a nifty tool to kick off 2022. The article is a list of the year's meteor showers, with some background on the showers, how they form, and how to watch them. It's out just in time for the Quadrantid shower, peaking right about now.

The tool is a 2022 space and astronomy calendar that covers a variety of celestial shows and scheduled mission launches during the year. It's a simple, one-click process to subscribe and add the calendar to your own.
