Can Wuzhong Banner, Bayannaoer City, Inner Mongolia see the 20 12 Perseid meteor shower?
On the night of August 12- 13, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at 100 meteors per hour (ideally), which will actually be discounted to varying degrees.
The specific viewing time of Wu Zhongqi: from 22: 00 on August 12 to before dawn on August 13, midnight is the best. The waning moon in the early morning of Wu Zhongqi 1-2 will affect the number of meteors, but it has little effect. You can also choose one of them to watch. (Uzhongqi rises from the radiation point all night, or you can watch it all night after dark. )
Where can I see it? Go out on a sunny night in advance and choose an empty place with less light damage. The more stars you can see, the denser the better. Depending on the light loss, you can leave the city appropriately. But please pay attention to all kinds of security issues, especially girls, who must be accompanied. Or ask parents and old people where they can see many stars and meteor showers.
Meteor showers are seen with the naked eye, without binoculars, and nearsighted people should wear glasses. Perseus will be located in the northeast, but the possibility of shooting stars in all parts of the sky is similar, and the direction is not important. It is best to lie in an open place and watch.
If the weather forecast says the weather is bad tonight, you can try to watch it at the same time (from 22: 00 to dawn) two nights before and after tonight, but the number is less. In addition, there was a Gemini meteor shower on the night of 13- 14 this year (ideally 140 meteors per hour), and the viewing conditions were better than the Perseid meteor shower.
