The Quadrantid meteor shower is expected to peak this weekend. If you’re trying to spot these elusive meteors streaking through the sky, bundle up and head somewhere dark. Consult this chart for the best viewing hours for your location + check out the Dark Skies International map for spots with lower light pollution. By our count, the darkest skies within driving distance are at Staunton River State Park in Virginia. 💫
Held at Brooks Magnet Elementary on Jan. 9 from 9:30-11 a.m., this free informational session is here to help you learn about Wake County’s wide range of award-winning magnet elementary schools.
Happy New Year’s, friends. I typically spend New Year’s Eve downtown — an espresso martini at either Sir Walter or Bittersweet — then hop over to the Acorn Drop.
This year, we spent it making dinner at home in our comfy clothes. Feeling like venturing out this weekend? There are plenty of events to kick off your year.
I hope this year treats you kindly and brings lots of good things your way.
