Here are five things to know Jan. 2, 2013 in Swampscott:
1) Sky Watch: The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks in the early morning hours of Jan. 4. Your bext chance to spot a meteor is to look north (and a little east) and find the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) then look farther north (which would be roughly "up" if the Big Dipper were holding liquid). The constellation Draco ("Dragon") has a "head" of four bright stars that look a little bit like the four stars that make up the cup end of the Big Dipper. "Up" between the end of the Big Dipper's handle and Draco's head, you should spot the meteors.
