Can the 2011 Perseid meteor shower be seen in Tianlin, Guangxi?

I'm coming to you! In my country, **** is almost the same, as long as the local weather is good. Recently, there have been thundershowers in many parts of the country, and the clouds are very thick, which is the most unfavorable factor. I didn't see it in Shanghai last night!

The Perseid Gamma meteor shower is a fixed annual meteor shower. It is one of the most famous meteor showers, because it is not only numerous, but also almost never absent from the summer sky, appears steadily at a fixed time every year, is the most active and most frequently observed meteor shower, and is also the best meteor shower for non-professional meteor observers, and is the first of the three periodic meteor showers of the year. It occurs around July 25 to August 18 every year, and is expected to occur on the afternoon of August 13.

That is to say, there is an Perseid meteor shower at this time of year, but theoretically it is the largest on the afternoon of August 13, Beijing time in China).

Although this year's extreme date coincides with the 14th day of the lunar calendar, the full moon will bring serious light pollution, which will reduce the observation effect of meteor showers. But the most affected by moonlight is photographic observations, and if a longer ** time is used, some fainter meteors will be submerged in the background skylight. The impact of visual observation is relatively small.

It is worth mentioning that the Perseid meteor shower occurs on summer nights, and the Perseid meteor shower is more suitable for field observation than Geminid and quadrant meteor showers.

A meteor shower is not like a solar eclipse, it can be seen halfway around the world when it comes. It can be seen in almost all regions of China, and the same is true for Tianlin in Guangxi. There is no need for equipment such as telescopes, and you can watch meteor showers with the naked eye, so that the angle of view is larger.

Because the light pollution in the center of the city is more serious now, so if the weather is good, (there are thundershowers in many places across the country these days, this is the most unfavorable place) I suggest that you choose a place on the outskirts of the city where there is no light pollution, and look northeast after 11 pm on August 12-13. With close lovers, wait patiently for some time, I believe there will be a harvest, good luck!

You can take a look at mine below, I hope it will be helpful to you.

Yes.

Meteor showers

A meteor shower is an astronomical phenomenon in which many meteors are emitted from a so-called radiant in the sky in the night sky. These meteors are fragments of the universe known as meteoroids that are projected into the Earth's atmosphere at extremely high speeds as they orbit in parallel orbits. Most meteoroids are smaller than gravel.

As a result, almost all meteoroids will be destroyed in the atmosphere and will not hit the Earth's surface; Debris that is capable of hitting the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteor showers that are particularly large or unusual in number are known as "meteor outbursts" or "meteor storms" and can produce more than 1,000 meteors per hour.

Before sunrise on October 21-22, 2018, the Orionid meteor shower will reach its maximum.

Because the particles of the meteor shower travel parallel paths in the sky and have the same velocity, they all appear to be radiated from the same point in the sky to the observer, which is called the radiant of the meteor. The creation of radiants is similar to the fact that railroad tracks on a path will converge before disappearing on the horizon, which is a kind of perspective effect on the graph.

Meteor showers are also always named after the constellation in which the radiant is located, which is not a fixed point in the sky, but will gradually move on the celestial sphere at night, and since the Earth also rotates around its axis, the stars in the sky will also gradually move (rising in the east and rising in the west). The radiant also shifts slightly between the stars in the background every day (radiant drift) as the Earth orbits the Sun.

Meteor showers are marked by the bright star that is closest to the radiant at its peak and has a Greek or Roman alphabet name, and the Latin possessive constellation name is referred to as id or ids.

As a result, meteor showers with radiant close to δ Aquariids are called δ Delta Aquariids. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) has a task force responsible for tracking meteor showers and establishing a meteor shower data centre, as well as naming confirmed meteor showers.

You can see it. If the weather is good, the northeast will be clearly visible tonight and tomorrow morning. Up to about 40 pieces.

It seems like it can, Perseus 11.

The Guangxi region can be seen as long as it is on a clear night. Meteor showers are not too strict in terms of geographical requirements.

Meteor shower name: Perseids

Comet Matrix: 109p Swift-Tuttle

Radiant: Perseus.

perseus）

Expected date of appearance: 12th-13th.

Description: The flow rate is high, and the peak hourly flow rate is about 60 pieces. The brightness is low, and patience is required when observing.

In China, there are two mornings of continuous observation: one is from 1 a.m. on August 12 to before dawn; The other is from 0:00 a.m. to before dawn on August 13. Two early mornings:

In the early morning of 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 latter morning was slightly disturbed by moonlight, but a relatively high number of meteors were observed.

1. Maximum point estimate: around 0:40 and 5:30 on the 13th.

2. Observation direction: northeast of the sky [because the radiant of the Perseid meteor shower does not rise from the horizon until 22 o'clock, and rises higher in the second half of the night].

The best time to observe this year is in the dark night sky just before dawn on August 12. If it is cloudy on that day, observations on the 11th and 13th are also important. Try observing the moon in the first half of the night for a few hours before it rises.

Unfortunately, at that time, the height of the radiant was still very low, and only a small percentage of the meteors in the group could be observed. Meteors in the Perseid meteor group observed at this time usually have long trajectories and produce meteor remnants, but they are rare.

Let's talk about Meizhou, Guangdong first. Meizhou can be seen as far away from the urban area as possible. If you can see a lot of very dense stars in your home and you can also see meteor showers, you don't need to stay away.

The Perseid meteor shower from August 12 to 13, 2012 can be seen all over China, including the whole province of Guangdong. But the weather is good + the light damage is small.

On the night of August 12-13, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to reach its maximum, peaking at 100 meteors per hour (under ideal conditions), which will actually be discounted to varying degrees.

Specific **time]: August 12 at 23 o'clock - before dawn on the 13th, the best in the middle of the night. Although the waning moon that comes out of Meizhou before 2 o'clock in the morning will affect the number of meteors, the impact is not very large.

You can also choose a period of time**. (Before 23 o'clock, due to the low radiant, meteors were scarce or unencountered).

Where can you see it]: Stay as far away from the city as possible. Take a walk outside on a sunny night a few days in advance, and choose an open place with less light pollution, and the more and denser stars you can see, the better.

However, please be aware of all kinds of safety issues, especially girls, and they must be accompanied. Or ask mom and dad and the elderly, you can see a lot of stars, and if you have one, you can see meteor showers.

Meteor showers are seen with the naked eye, without binoculars, and those who are nearsighted wear glasses. The constellation Perseus will be located in the northeast, but the probability of a meteor appearing at various locations in the sky is about the same, and the direction is not important. It is best to lie down in an open area and look at it.

If the weather forecast says that the weather is bad this night, you can also try to watch it for 2 nights before and after this night, which is also the same time (23 o'clock - before dawn the next day), and the number is smaller. In addition, there will be a Geminid meteor shower (140 meteors per hour under ideal conditions) on the night of December 13-14 this year, ** with better conditions than the Perseid meteor shower.

The radiant point Perseus can be seen in most parts of our country, so many of them are visible almost all over the country, but this time the meteor shower is not powerful, and the observation effect is reduced a lot due to the influence of moonlight, and the following are some of the situations:

The Perseid meteor shower on August 13 happens to be Saturday.

I started watching the Perseid meteor shower last time around the morning, and after watching it for 3 hours in a row, I could see twenty or thirty meteors, and the weather was good at that time.

It's a pity that the full moon on this day will greatly reduce the number of meteors, and last year I had a concern about the meteor shower in this constellation, and I saw twenty or thirty meteors in two or three hours, most of which were yellow. The radiant Perseus rises from the northeast in the early morning, and if you insist on watching, maybe it is a pity to see the meteor shower on the full moon, but the landlord insists that you can look northeast at about 23 o'clock.

Hope it helps.

Here's your chance. According to the forecast of the International Meteor Organization, this year's Perseid meteor shower will "explode" from 2 o'clock to 15 o'clock Beijing time on August 13, and it is expected that more than 60 meteors can be seen per hour, and the maximum may occur at 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock on the 13th (some astronomical experts believe that the maximum will occur before 6 o'clock on the 13th), and the number of meteors per hour may exceed 100.

The Perseid meteor shower is one of the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, and the meteors in the group have the characteristics of stable flow, fast speed (59 kilometers per second), and many bright meteors. The earliest record of the Perseid meteor shower appeared in Chinese historical records in 36 AD, where more than 100 meteors were recorded. The trajectories of these meteors extend in the opposite direction and intersect in the constellation Perseus, hence the name as if a meteor shower falling from the constellation Perseus.

The Perseid meteor is produced by particles scattered by Swift-Tuttle's comet. Every year, as the Earth passes through these particles, the particles crash into the Earth's atmosphere and become meteors.

Every year in mid-August, the Perseid meteor shower "explodes". This year's Perseid meteor shower is particularly eye-catching, mainly due to the fact that the moon phase is a crescent moon or an embra moon during this time, and the weather is fine, which is very conducive to meteor shower observation.

This year's Perseid meteor shower begins on July 17 and will run until August 24. China Astronomical Network said that from August 11th to 14th, the flow of the Perseid meteor shower will be considerable, and the evening of the 12th to dawn on the 13th is the best time to observe.

After work today, you can go home and eat a good meal, take a shower, watch TV, and wait until the early hours of the morning to bring your family and friends and find an open, relatively dark area around you to look up at the sky and watch this meteor shower together in what may be the most beautiful and spectacular meteor shower of the year. Astronomers say that if you find the right position, you can see it with the naked eye; If you use an ordinary telescope, you can see it more clearly; With astronomical telescopes, it is not easy to find and look for meteors because the field of view is not wide enough.

On August 12, 2010, at 11 o'clock, there was a Perseid meteor shower, which can be observed throughout China.

From 11 a.m. on August 12 to the early hours of the next morning, the Perseid meteor shower was extremely large.

The Perseid meteor shower can be observed throughout China. But if you want to see it in the city, you may not have one at that night, so go far away from the city and see it, and you may be able to see a lot of it when you leave the city.

Last year, the Perseid meteor shower performed well, with more than 100 meteors per hour, and this year it is probably above 100 per hour.
