On the evening of August 12, the Perseid meteor shower will be ushered in the sky. . . Speed. . . It's tomorrow

You can almost see the meteor shower of this constellation in China. In addition to good weather, we have to go to mountain villages and suburbs with low light pollution and good air quality. The light pollution in cities is high, so the chances of seeing meteors are very small.

Perseid meteor shower in August. Among them, 12 is in full bloom at about 7: 50 pm, and these two nights just happen to be the waning moon, which will not have much impact. On the premise of good weather, it is a good opportunity to observe meteor showers. The radiant point Perseus rises from the northeast around midnight. The landlord must find the radiant point when watching, and the maximum hourly flow is about 100. But the landlord should not think that the meteor shower looks like rain as said on TV. This meteor storm is very rare. The latest meteor shower is the Leonid meteor shower in 200 1 year.

Pay attention to the following points when watching the meteor shower:

1. Find the radiant point of the meteor shower, and don't look at the sky aimlessly. For example, in the constellation meteor shower in June of 5438+0, the radiation point rises in the eastern sky around 1, so look in the direction of the eastern sky: the best observation time is midnight.

2. If you want to find a place with less light pollution and good air quality to watch the meteor shower, the light source is a big obstacle, so you must see at least 100 stars in the place you find, so the effect will be better.

3. dark adaptation: from a bright place to a dark place, it takes about 2.3 minutes for the eyes to adapt to the darkness.

4. When watching the meteor shower, you need to use tools such as star maps and flashlights to find accurate radiation points. When looking at the star map with a flashlight, remember to cover it with a layer of red cloth to avoid being too dazzling and affecting the viewing.

5. Remember to watch the meteor shower with naked eyes. It is not suitable to use binoculars, because the field of vision of the telescope is too small and the field of vision of the naked eye is relatively large, so there are more meteors in the middle of the night from the perspective of the earth, which is also related to the brightness of the sky and the surrounding environment. Because many people have fallen asleep in the middle of the night, the light pollution is relatively small and the brightness of the sky is relatively dark, which is more conducive to watching meteors.

6. Watch the meteor shower to keep warm in winter. You can get a blanket on the ground to keep warm.

7. Record the number of fireballs and bright meteors you see, and count how many meteors you see.

I hope it helps you.
