Quadrantid meteor shower 2027 in Al Ain City: the sky above you

The real sky over Al Ain City, United Arab Emirates at 4 January 2027, 04:00 local time: 3,212 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Arcturus, Capella. This is the short, sharp peak of the Quadrantids. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.

The Quadrantids radiant is 31° above the horizon over Al Ain City at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was below the horizon over Al Ain City at that moment — a waning crescent, 13% lit — so it leaves the sky to the stars, and the poster shows it the way the night really was.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Arcturus, Capella, Rigel, Procyon, Betelgeuse. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (24.19°) and longitude (55.76°) of Al Ain City. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.

Make it an A3 poster — $4.99

Printing it at home? There is a second paper: the same sky as ink on white. A full-bleed night A3 bands on a home printer and drinks a cartridge; the ink one does not. Same price, pick either on the next page.
