Quadrantid meteor shower 2027 in Wellington: the sky above you
The real sky over Wellington, New Zealand at 4 January 2027, 04:00 local time: 3,357 stars above the horizon, including Sirius, Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus. This is the short, sharp peak of the Quadrantids. Free to view, printable as an A3 star chart.
The Moon was up over Wellington at that moment: a waning crescent, 15% lit, 15° above the horizon toward the east — the poster draws it where it really stood.
Brightest named stars up at that moment: Sirius, Canopus, Rigil Kentaurus, Rigel, Procyon, Achernar. Every star is a real one from the HYG catalogue, placed with the exact latitude (-41.29°) and longitude (174.78°) of Wellington. North is up and east is on the left, as when you look up.
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.
Preview free, one-off payment, no account. Change the place and the line of text on the poster page, or see which moment to pick for a birth, a wedding or an anniversary.
