In addition to this cosmic spectacle, the Quadrantid meteor shower is ongoing, with peak visibility expected on Saturday, continuing until January 12. Dr. Robert Massey, deputy director of the Royal Astronomical Society in the UK, encourages viewers to find dark locations away from city lights for optimal viewing of the meteors after sunset, calling it a "perfect new year treat" for those eager to witness nature’s fireworks.

As skywatchers from Kolkata, India, to York, England, share their awe-inspiring experiences, the cosmos remains a source of fascination and wonder for all.

As 2025 progresses, astronomers urge enthusiasts to stay tuned for even more celestial delights ahead.
