Quadrantid meteor shower 2027 in Taipei: the sky above you

The real sky over Taipei, Taiwan at 4 January 2027, 04:00 local time: 3,200 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 35° above the horizon over Taipei at that moment — the poster marks it.

The Moon was up over Taipei at that moment: a waning crescent, 14% lit, 5° above the horizon toward the south-east — the poster draws it where it really stood.

Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Arcturus, Capella, Procyon, Betelgeuse, Spica. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (25.03°) and longitude (121.57°) of Taipei. 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.
