The radiant for the Quadrantids is in the former constellation of Quadrans Muralis - hence the shower's name - close to the Plough.

The Quadrantids get their name from their apparent point of origin in the sky, the former constellation Quadrans Muralis, and will have a blue or yellow-white tinge with fine trails.

The year starts with the Quadrantid meteor shower, named after Quadrans Muralis, an archaic constellation that modern astronomers lump in with the constellation known as Boötes.

The Quadrantids get their name from the obsolete constellation Quadrans Muralis, which fell out of favor in the 1920s.

The shower’s name comes from “Quadrans Muralis,” a constellation that does not exist anymore, discovered by French astronomer Jerome Lalande in 1795.
