The large bursts of light happen when more extensive dust particles meet a fiery end in the upper atmosphere. As per sources, the Quadrantids of January originated from the asteroid 2003 EH1, which takes about 5.5 years to orbit the Sun once. The celestial body may be a “dead comet” or a “rock comet”, says NASA. The source for the Quadrantids is found by Astronomer and research scientist Peter Jenniskens.
