What time can you see the Perseid meteor shower tonight, so say thank you first

Under normal circumstances, yes, China can almost see the meteor shower of this constellation, but there are some factors: the weather must be good, if it is not good, it will be no show, and at the same time, it must be seen in mountain villages and suburbs with low light pollution and good air quality, and the city has large light pollution, and the probability of seeing meteors is small.

Perseid meteor shower in August. Among them, the night of the 12th is in its heyday, and it happens that the moon phase is waning on these two nights, which will not have much impact, and under the premise of good weather, it is a good opportunity to observe meteor showers. The radiant point Perseus rises from the northeast around the early morning, so the landlord must find the radiant point when the **, and the flow rate is about 100 per hour at the maximum.

However, the landlord should not think that the meteor shower looks like it is raining as the TV says, this is called a meteor shower, which is very rare. The most recent meteor shower was the 2001 Leonid meteor shower. Even if the peak value passes, it will still be visible in the next few days, but the number of meteors will be relatively small.

**A few things to keep in mind when it comes to meteor showers:

1.Find the radiant of the meteor shower, don't look at the sky aimlessly, for example, in the Quadrantids in January, the radiant rises in the eastern sky at about 1 o'clock, so we need to look in the direction of the eastern sky: the best time to observe is in the second half of the night.

2.To find a place with less light pollution and the best air, the light source is a big obstacle to seeing the meteor shower, so the place you find should have at least about 100 stars to see, so that the effect will be better.

3.Dark adaptation, when looking at the starry sky from a place of light to a dark place, it takes about a minute to get your eyes used to the darkness.

4.When watching meteor showers, you need to use star charts, flashlights and other tools to find the radiant points, and remember to cover a layer of red cloth when looking at the star map with a flashlight, so that it will not be too dazzling and affect**.

5.Remember to see with the naked eye, it is not suitable to use a telescope to see meteor showers, because the field of view of the telescope is too small, the field of view seen by the naked eye is relatively large, the number of sights is more, and the opportunity is relatively large, from the perspective of the earth, there will be more meteors in the second half of the night, which is also very related to the brightness of the sky and the surrounding environment, because many people have fallen asleep in the second half of the night, the light pollution is naturally smaller, and the brightness of the sky is darker, which is more conducive to watching meteors.

6.**In winter, you should pay attention to keeping warm in meteor showers, you can get a blanket on the ground to cushion it, pay attention to keeping warm.

7.Record the number of fire meteors and bright meteors you see, and count how many meteors you see.

Hope it helps.

As long as the weather is clear, it is possible to go to the suburbs where there is no light pollution.

However, meteor showers are not like rain, and sometimes you can only see a few or even one in a minute.

It is best to observe in the first half of the night, and there will be moonlight interference in the second half of the night.

Meteors can be seen in any direction in the sky.

These days are all active periods, and I don't know exactly what time it starts.

The best place for the Perseid meteor shower is:Ma On Shan.

Ma'anshan has an open terrain, high altitude, and good air quality, so you can not only watch the stars on the mountain at night, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the whole city of Liuzhou, and your mood is suddenly bright.

Other Locations:1. Panlong Mountain Park.

Panlong Mountain is on the east bank of the Liujiang River, and its three peaks are horizontally arranged, and the river stands tall. Although Panlong Mountain is not the best holy place for meteor showers, its main peak is 197 meters above sea level, and the mountain is dangerous. However, at night, the lights are dim and the mountain roads are steep, so visitors must also pay attention to safety.

Generally, after 11 o'clock in the evening, it is not recommended that everyone go up the mountain again.

2. Rotten Potato Chong Park in Qi'er Mountain.

The topography of the park is peninsula-shaped, with high terrain in the middle and low on all sides, surrounded by lakes on the east, south and north edges. In the park, there is a majestic and upright Qi'er Mountain, on the Qi'er Mountain, from the top to the bottom, the surrounding landscape is in full view, the surrounding area is relatively empty, and the light pollution is relatively less, which is suitable for meteor showers at night.

3. The roof of the house.

Recently, the most convenient and free place is the roof of your house, and it is so comfortable and romantic to invite a few relatives and friends upstairs to watch shooting stars, eat desserts, and barbecue!

Precautions: 1. Naked-eye ** meteor shower.

Meteors can appear in any corner of the sky, we just need to lie on the ground or look at the sky from a comfortable chair, we don't need to use other equipment to enjoy the meteor shower, with the help of a telescope will narrow the scope of your observation.

2. The weather should be sunny.

Any astronomical observation activity on the ground needs clear weather, so if you want to ** enough meteors is no exception, please check in advance whether the hunger destination you are going to is sunny at night before you go out!

Although there is moonlight interference throughout the night during the maximum period of the Perseid meteor shower, the live broadcast equipment will record more meteors than the human eye sees.

3. A place with a good light environment.

The biggest problem affecting the quality of meteor showers is light pollution, although the biggest source of light pollution this time is the moon overhead, but you definitely don't want to have the superimposed effects of other light pollution sources near you, so please go to an area with little light pollution** this meteor shower.

China News Service, Guangzhou, August 12 -- The annual Perseid meteor shower is coming. According to the forecast of the Guangdong Astronomical Society: the peak of the Perseid meteor shower this year appeared around 11 o'clock on August 13 (Beijing time), if the sky is clear, it can be seen all over the Northern Hemisphere, and the best observation locations in the world are the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Algeria and other countries.

Due to the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, it is daylight in various parts of China and cannot be seen with the naked eye. Therefore, China has two ideal opportunities to observe the Perseid meteor shower this year. Once is on the eve of the peak, namely:

0:00 a.m. on 13 August to before dawn; The other was after the peak period, between 0:00 a.m. and before dawn on 14 August.

At that time, the constellation Perseus is located in the morning sky north-east, and people see that the reverse extension of the meteor shower's trajectory converges in the constellation Perseus, hence the name "Perseid meteor shower". The Perseid meteor shower can be seen with the naked eye without the help of a telescope.

The Perseid meteor shower** is a comet numbered "109p" with a period of 130 years. When Comet 109p flies near the Sun, the Perseid meteor shower will rain "heavily"; When Comet 109p moves away from the Sun, the Perseid meteor shower will rain "lightly".

In 1862, Comet 109p passed perihelion. In the early morning of August 10, 1862, all parts of China watched the Perseid meteor shower, which "rained stars and streamed all night until dawn".

In 1992, Comet 109p returned again. In the early morning of August 12 of that year, the Perseid meteor shower had a once-in-a-century explosion, with hundreds of dazzling meteors appearing every hour.

Liu Zhenzhong, an astronomy enthusiast in Guangzhou, witnessed the spectacular Perseid meteor shower, and only the news in Guangzhou reported the explosion of the Perseid meteor shower on the same day. According to **, Comet 109p will fly to Earth again in 2126, when people will be able to see the even more spectacular Perseid meteor shower.

This year's Perseid meteor shower peaks on the New Moon (the first day of the Lunar New Year), and there is no moonlight to influence it, so the observation conditions are very ideal. If you miss this Perseid meteor shower, you will have to wait another three years for such observation conditions. Because the observation of the Perseid meteor shower next year and the year after will be affected by the moonlight.

Meteor shower observation should be carried out in an environment with sparse population, dim lighting, clean atmosphere and wide field of vision.

In order to meet the requirements of astronomy enthusiasts, the Guangdong Astronomical Society will organize citizens to observe the Perseid meteor shower at Wanqingsha Field Manor, Nansha District, Guangzhou City, the Guangdong Astronomical Observation Base. If the night sky is clear, you can see the ethereal Milky Way and the starry sky at this astronomical observation base (Nansha Twelve Chung).

The Perseid Gamma meteor shower is one of the most famous meteor showers, because it is not only numerous, but also almost never absent in the summer starry sky, and 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 major periodic meteor showers throughout the year. It occurs around July 25 to August 18 every year.

The 2011 Perseid meteor shower is expected to occur on the afternoon of August 13. China is not in the best place to observe, although this year's huge date is on the 14th day of the lunar calendar, and the full moon will bring serious light damage, 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 at night in the summer, and is more suitable for field observation than the Draconids in October, Gemini in December, and the Quadrant meteor shower in January.

A meteor shower is not like a solar eclipse, it can be seen halfway around the world when it comes. 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. Since the light pollution in the center of the city is relatively serious now, so if the weather is good, I suggest that you choose a place in the suburbs of the city where there is no light pollution, and look northeast after 23 o'clock on the evening of August 13.

Wait patiently for some time, I believe there will be a harvest, good luck!
