Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
More specifically, the MSNBC article states, “Quadrantid rates will likely range from 30 to 60 per hour for eastern parts of the U.S. and Canada, to perhaps 60 to 120 per hour for the western United States and Canada. For those in Europe, the shower's sharp peak will likely come long after sunrise. Nonetheless, hourly rates of perhaps 15 to 30 may still be seen.”
And, the meteors generally travel at a moderate speed of about 40 kilometers (25 miles) per second.
Plus, for eager sky-gazers out looking for the Quadrantids, the night sky will contain a mostly darkened Moon, with it still in its first quarter phase. Hopefully, your local sky will be devoid of clouds for a good viewing of the meteor shower.
The best locations in the Northern Hemisphere are in mid-northern latitude regions such as in western North America (United States and Canada), Sweden, Finland, and Norway.
The eastern portion of the United States will get less of a view, as they will be visible after sunrise.
The Quadrantids will not be viewable from the Southern Hemisphere.
