(196256) 2003 EH1 is a small Solar System body discovered in March 2003.[2][3] Peter Jenniskens (2003–2004) proposed that it is the parent body of the Quadrantid meteor shower.[4][5] 2003 EH1 is likely an extinct comet and may even be related to the comet C/1490 Y1. 2003 EH1 came to perihelion on 12 March 2014.[1]
