The meteor shower in 2009 (Changzhi, Shanxi) was very urgent.
The "grumpy" Draco meteor shower, Orion meteor shower, one of the three major meteor showers, and Samsung accompanying the moon ... After the National Day holiday, the starry sky overhead will not be lonely and will continue to stage wonderful dramas. According to the forecast of Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Draco meteor shower and the Orion meteor shower will break out at 2 1 tomorrow and June 5438+00, respectively. At the dawn of 10, 16, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will also accompany the waning moon and stage the "Three Stars Accompanied by the Moon". Different from most meteor showers, the activity time of the Draco meteor shower is very short, basically lasting from July 7th of 10 to June of 10. The high latitude area (north) is more conducive to observing the Draco meteor shower than the low latitude area (south), and the best observation time should be at night. In the past hundred years, this meteor shower has only two short showers of 1946 and 1993. This time, its maximum outbreak period was at 10: 40 on October 9th, 12: 30, and its peak appeared at 12: 30 on the 9th, which happened to be the daytime in China.
In addition to the Draco meteor shower, the Orion meteor shower will also come in June+10 in 5438. Orion meteor shower starts at 10 and becomes active at 1 10 every year. Its characteristics are very obvious, such as fast meteor speed, many bright meteors, white color and long peak flow duration. According to the forecast of the International Meteor Organization, the maximum value of this year will appear in June 65438+1October 2 1, and the zenith flow is above 30 per hour, and the best observation period is in the middle of the night.
10 In the early morning of mid-June, there will be a wonderful Samsung gathering performance, in which the three protagonists are Mercury, Venus and Saturn. From 65438+ 10, the three planets gradually came together, and Venus will meet Saturn in 65438+ 10+3. At the dawn of 10 and 16, the waning moon of the 28th lunar calendar will also join the gathering of Samsung, forming the trend of Samsung accompanying the moon.
"The weather is a bit difficult" and "the weather is not good" ... In the QQ group of "SC astronomy enthusiasts", netizens had a big fight yesterday. The netizen "day by day" said that although he really wanted to see the meteor shower, he was very helpless about the weather in Chengdu. "Only then can we decide." There are not a few astronomy enthusiasts who have the same idea as "Day by Day". Everyone says that in addition to the unfavorable observation conditions, the viewing time is also unfortunate.
According to relevant astronomical experts, people who are interested in these two meteor showers and the astronomical phenomenon of "Samsung accompanying the moon" that will appear this month can go to the suburbs or mountains to enjoy it, but whether they can see it depends on the weather of the day.
