If you missed out, don’t worry! Because on January 4th the Quadrantids meteor shower will be at its peak! It’s another major meteor shower and the best time to view it is at about midnight in an area without artificial light. The Pinole Valley backroads are the perfect place to see it!

- Space is completely silent
- The number of stars in the known universe is uncountable!
- The Apollo astronauts’ footprints on the moon will most likely be there for at least 100 million years.
