The Sextantid meteor shower will reach its peak this afternoon at 1 pm, which means the best time to observe will be early tomorrow morning between 4:45 am and dawn. As the radiant for this meteor shower is overhead primarily during daylight hours, it is estimated that from St. Louis it is likely to only see about 1 meteor per hour.
