Perseid meteor shower in August 2009

Landlord, let me answer your question! Not many words, just right!

1. Of course it can be observed. Because this meteor is regional, it can be seen as long as it is located in the northern hemisphere and all over the country.

2. Time: In China, there are two mornings of continuous observation: one is from 1 am to August 12 before dawn; The other is from 0: 00 am to before dawn on August 13. Two mornings: in the first morning, the eastern part of China was basically unaffected by moonlight, but the number of meteors observed was relatively small; The first half of the next morning was slightly disturbed by moonlight, but the number of meteors observed was relatively large.

In the suburbs, there is no light pollution. Besides these two points, you should also pay attention to two points: First, pay attention to the weather forecast. If there is rainy weather, you won't see it. Second, the real meteor may be a little different from the meteor you imagined, and it may not be as much as you imagined. You should be mentally prepared.
