The radiant point of quadrant meteor shower is located in the adjacent areas of Dragon, Shepherd and Five Immortals, in the direction of bucket handle of the Big Dipper.

Introduction to meteor shower:

Meteor shower is an astronomical phenomenon that many meteors are emitted from a so-called radiation point in the sky in the night sky. These meteors are fragments called meteoroids in the universe, which are projected into the earth's atmosphere at a very high speed when they run in parallel orbits. Most meteoroids are smaller than gravel.

So almost all meteoroids will be destroyed in the atmosphere and will not hit the earth's surface; Fragments that can hit the earth's surface are called meteorites. A particularly large or unusual number of meteor showers will be called "meteor burst" or "star rain", and there may be more than 1 1,000 meteors per hour.
