### The First (and Sharpest) Cosmic Show of the Year

Are you into astronomy…
or just looking for a stellar excuse to meet awesome local and international people under the night sky?
Welcome to the Quadrantids — fast, bright, intense, and criminally underrated.

## 🗓 DATE & TIME

Saturday Night, January 3 → Sunday Morning, January 4, 2026
This is important:
The Quadrantids peak after midnight and just before dawn, so staying late actually pays off.

## 📍 LOCATION

Our legendary night-picnic spot near the Bunkers del Carmel
High ground. Open sky. City lights below. Meteors above.
Bad decisions guaranteed.

## 💫 WHY THE QUADRANTIDS ARE SPECIAL

The Quadrantids are not the biggest meteor shower —
they are the sharpest.
🌠 Up to 100 meteors per hour at peak
⚡ Extremely fast and bright fireballs
🕰️ Very short peak window (miss it and it’s gone)
They come from debris left by asteroid 2003 EH1, likely the remains of an ancient comet.
Translation: space rubble doing overtime.

## 🌌 THE PLAN

🕢 21:00 — Meet up and walk to the picnic spot
🍷 Eat, drink, laugh, and question our life choices
🌠 After midnight — Quadrantids reach peak activity
🕞 01:00–04:00 — “One last meteor” (repeat 47 times)
🌅 Optional sunrise if we accidentally become nocturnal creatures

## ❄️ WEATHER REALITY CHECK

✨ The view is breathtaking
❄️ The cold is personal
💨 The wind is disrespectful
🦟 Mosquitoes are mostly inactive in January (yes, this is a miracle)
Cold replaces mosquitoes. ( A few of them evolved and have Jackets, Scarfs and gloves but not many so don't worry)
Dress accordingly.

## 🎒 WHAT TO BRING

🧺 Blanket (or two)
🧥 Very warm jacket (January is not playing games)
🧤 Gloves, hat, scarf — full winter mode
🍪 Snacks & drinks
☕ Something warm if you’re smart
💪 Emotional resilience against cold and beauty

## 🧭 WHY YOU SHOULD COME

Because this night has EVERYTHING:
🌃 A city view that makes you fall in love with Barcelona again
🌠 One of the best meteor showers of the year
🤣 Fun people & cosmic-level conversations
❄️ Cold that builds character
🌌 A proper “first adventure of the year” energy
