Was there a meteor shower in October 2010? When? 10

Yes, but it is not recommended for the owner to observe.

There are two main meteor shower events in October.

One is the Draconid meteor shower on October 8, this meteor shower once set a glorious record of tens of thousands of flows, but unfortunately, now, the flow is only in the single digits, which is very valuable for the observation of special meteor showers, but it may not be wise to see the excitement.

The second is the Orionid meteor shower that will be active on October 21, this meteor shower has a medium-to-high flow, and the biggest feature is that the peak lasts for a particularly long time, such as last year's Orionid meteor shower, which remained at a level close to its peak for about 90 hours. However, after looking at the moon phase, I retreated, and this year, the peak time of the Orionid meteor shower will be strongly disturbed by the moonlight, and if the landlord has been to a more secluded place, he should know the power of the moon. The moon and meteors are two celestial phenomena that are not very compatible.

There are two meteor showers in October, these two meteor showers are the North and South Taurid meteor showers, these two meteor showers have a long active time, there is no special peak (the flow is similar in 2 months), and the flow is not large, but there is a feature, the proportion of bright meteors is particularly high.

Generally speaking, these two meteor showers are not specifically observed, but when it comes to observing the main meteor showers, there are often surprises. About 30 meteors were seen in the Leonid meteor shower on November 17 last year, but now the impact of these meteors has been forgotten, but the meteors of the northern and southern Taurids will never be forgotten (and I don't know whether they belong to the south or the north). I turned to the north after seeing its light, and at that time I saw that its brightness was about -7, and some people saw the whole process, and it was estimated that the brightness was -10, which was close to the brightness of the full moon.

There was an exclamation, then silence, then a grumbling, regretting that the northern part of the sky had not been observed. These two meteor showers have no special observation value, but they often have a surprise.

In short, there will be meteor shower activity in October this year, but it is not advisable to run out to observe a small poor meteor shower, or to fight hard with the big moon.

It is recommended that the landlord, watch the meteor shower or wait for the twins, as long as it is a sunny day, the light pollution is slightly lighter (there are more than 100 stars in the sky), the result will not disappoint, if you can see the planets in the sky, breaking a hundred is a casual thing.

Yes, there are three.

1) Giacobini or Draconids.

Maximum: October 8 Date Range: October 6-10 Hourly Maximum: Variable.

Notes: Slow meteor shower from Comet Giakobini-Nazin.

2) Orionid meteor shower.

Maximum: October 21 Date Range: October 15-29 Maximum number per hour: 25

Maximum: November 4 Date Range: October 15 - November 30 Maximum number per hour: 10

Notes: A bright, slow meteor shower from Comet Enke.

In October 2010, there was a meteor shower in the constellation Gemini on October 15, 2010 at 12 p.m. at 1 p.m.

The top three hyped meteor showers are the following:

Draconids: October 8 is at its peak, and there is a small eruption this year, and the flow can reach 200, but the radiant has already fallen at 1 o'clock, so China cannot see the peak.

Southern Taurid: To be honest, I don't know when this meteor shower is at its peak, because it has a small flow of cherry blossoms, but it can maintain a similar flow for almost two months. It is characterized by the occasional fire meteor, and the brightest meteor I have ever seen is due to him (-10 magnitude, the brightness of the moon).

Grip bush. Orionid meteor shower: October 21 is at its peak, a very modest meteor shower, with a flow of 30, and the peak can be maintained for more than 48 hours, so it is almost the same a day earlier or a day later.

But I personally suggest that if the building is mainly observed, the latter two are directly excluded.

The northern and southern Taurids (there are two, almost) are rarely observed, and they are observed in passing while observing other meteor showers. It's not that the Orionid meteor shower can't be seen, but hitting the big moon this year makes it meaningless for people who watch the excitement.

The Draconid meteor shower can still be considered for observation, but to be honest, the conditions are really not good, the same, hitting the moon, but because of its large flow, maybe it can "get out of the mud without staining", right? Find a place where you can see 200 stars (there will not be too many stars in the sky with the moon), observe the first half of the night, the mathematical expectation is about 30 (I am not very responsible to estimate the flow of about 100), I don't know this number, the landlord is satisfied?

October 9 Draconia Feast Trail Star Shower is great.

October 10 The Southern Taurids are at their peak.

October 21 Orionids leak and search for a cluster of star showers.

October 29 Jupiter at opposition.

From the landlord's question, I personally suggest that the landlord should not watch the meteor shower. Because the landlord's knowledge of astronomy is limited, these three meteor showers are not suitable for watching the excitement.

The three meteor showers are.

Peak Draconids on October 8: There was a small eruption this year, and the flow could reach 200, but the peak radiant had already fallen.

I don't know when the Southern Taurids are at their peak (the traffic is about the same for two months): the traffic is in the single digits, and no one specifically goes to see it. But it is characterized by a lot of bright meteors, and the brightest meteor I have seen now (-10 magnitude, moon brightness) was contributed when I watched the lion in 09.

Orionid meteor shower at its peak on October 21: flow 30, peak for 48 hours.

Sounds pretty good, but here's the problem, when these three meteor showers are active, there is a celestial body in the sky called the moon. This dude's influence on astronomical observations is not the slightest. On August 12 this year, I went to Anji Tianhuangping (the best astronomical observation site in the Yangtze River Delta region) to observe, but with the full moon, there were not as many stars in the sky as there were at my home in downtown Shanghai.

I think the landlord is in the county town of Yongxiu, so he should have more opportunities to comprehend the moonlight than me.

Personally, don't consider the Southern Taurus and Orion. If the weather is good on October 8 (if it's not a sunny day), look at the northern sky in the first half of the night, and if you can see 200 stars, observe the first half of the night, give a mathematical expectation, 30. Let's call it a day after one o'clock.

If you feel disappointed by this amount, take a break early. If you are willing to watch the meteors under the cool but not cold autumn breeze in autumn, then I also bless the landlord.
