QUADRANTID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is approaching a stream of debris from comet fragment 2003 EH1, source of the annual Quadrantid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the shower to peak at 20:40 UT (3:40 pm EST) on Jan. 3rd, producing more than 60 meteors/hour from a radiant near the North Star.
The timing of the peak favors European and Asian observers, although late arriving Quadrantids could sprinkle North America as well. Wherever you live, be alert for meteors on Monday night.

NOAA forecasters estimate a 10% chance of M-class flares today, dropping to no more than 1% tomorrow.
