Is there a meteor shower on January 4, 2010 Jiang Ning saw it

The regionality of meteor showers is very small, and the observation effect is similar across the country. According to the current forecast given by the International Meteor Organization, the 2010 Quadrant meteor shower is very likely to occur at around 3 a.m. Beijing time on January 4. This time is more favorable for the eastern part of China, because the horizontal level of the radiant has risen to more than 40°, while the radiant in the western region may be lower.

The overall forecast is very suitable for China's observation. The effect of moonlight is not decisive for observing meteor showers, but it is one of the factors that must be taken into account. The 2010 Quadrant meteor shower will be severely disturbed by the moonlight, and the waxing gibbous moon will rise at around 21 o'clock on the 3rd, affecting the observation throughout the night.

The theoretical flow of the quadrant meteor shower can reach more than 100 meteors per hour, and it is believed that it should not be a problem for everyone to see dozens of meteors in the quadrant group with slightly red colors during the maximum period. However, the meteor shower is always accompanied by cold weather, so everyone must wear more clothes when observing, and pay attention to rest, and do not force yourself.

Meteor showers are not like celestial phenomena such as solar eclipses, which can only be seen in a small part of the area at a time. It can be seen halfway around the world. Tonight (not just tonight, but also two or three days before and after) is the Quadrantids.

It rises over the northeastern horizon at 1 a.m. Dawn rises to about 40°, still northeast. This time has been possible**.

But no one can say how much they can see. It's all a matter of luck.

However, if you haven't seen it, I advise you not to get your hopes up. What I actually see is not like fireworks like some **. Because it is said that there are dozens of them per hour, but most of them are not visible to the naked eye.

It would be nice to see a few "fire meteors" that really have a bit of flavor throughout the night. The vast majority of observers, who are not hardcore astronomy enthusiasts, have two words in their heads when they look at it overnight - fooled":

Yes The constellation Locus (also known as the constellation Quadrant) meteor swarm (4 January).

This is the largest meteor shower group in the first month, around 8 p.m. to early morning on January 4.

Jiang Ning may be able to see it.

At 3:30 p.m., it should be visible.

Yes....Only the Hubei region can see it.

Summary. As the grand finale of the year, the Geminid meteor shower will make a romantic debut on December 14.

As the grand finale of the year, the Geminid meteor shower will make a romantic debut on December 14.

The Geminid meteor shower will reach its maximum from 9 p.m. on December 14 to dawn on 15 December, with 150 meteors expected per hour.

The Geminid meteor shower is a meteor shower that appears near the Geminid Parameter as a radiant point, and is known as the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere along with the Quadrant meteor shower and the Perseid meteor shower. At the same time, it is also very"Keep promises"The meteor shower generally visits Earth from December 4 to 17 every year. Hu Fanghao, director of science popularization at Hu Wentai, Purple Mountain, Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that this year's Geminid meteor shower will usher in a maximum after sunset on December 14 and before sunrise on the 15th, with a theoretical ceiling flow of about 150 pieces per hour.

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.

Perseid meteor shower.

The meteor shower can be seen from 0:00 to dawn on August 12.

Around 0:40 and 5:30 on August 13, the meteor shower is at its highest.

If you want to see a meteor shower, you must first choose a good observation site, and you must stay away from the interference of city lights. You can find a place with a great view in the countryside, on a hilltop or on the seaside, far from the city. If there are more than 1,000 stars that can be seen, it would be best if you could see the Minzhi Cowherd and the Weaver Girl and the Milky Way.

If you see less than 100 stars, don't expect to see a meteor shower!

It is recommended to arrive at the observation site before dark on August 12. The crescent moon can be seen in the west, and if there are fewer than 100 stars in the sky, you will have to choose a more remote place.

On the evening of August 12, you can see Venus, Saturn, and Mars with the Moon.

At around 0:40 on August 13, Qiao Hongmin was the biggest moment of the meteor shower.

Saturn conjunct the Moon at 3 o'clock on August 13.

Around 5:30 a.m. on August 13, the biggest moment of another meteor shower, but at this time you can watch the sunrise!

On August 13, Venus conjunct the Moon at 3 p.m., and Saturn conjunct the Moon at 16 o'clock, because it is daytime, it will not be visible.

The Perseid meteor shower is in the northeast and can be observed with the naked eye, without the need for a telescope.

Happy to you!

It doesn't matter if you didn't see yesterday's meteor shower. This Perseid meteor shower is a meteor shower, which is more difficult to see. There are also two meteor showers this year, which are perfect for **. Don't miss it! Leonid meteor shower (November 18).

According to the forecast of international astronomers, there will be a relatively strong Leontan meteor shower this year. This ** breaks the saying that the Leonid meteor shower is in a quiet period for several years. The peak of the Leonid meteor shower will occur on the day of the month and the day of the day (Beijing time (which may be delayed by minutes and minutes).

At that time, the maximum flow per hour will be about 1 pieces, which will be a "rainstorm level" and we can use the naked eye from 2 to 4 am on the 18th**.

Geminid meteor shower (December 7 - December 17)

Just like the Chinese New Year blockbuster, the Geminid meteor shower usually arrives at the end of the year as scheduled, and the "release schedule" will last from the day of the month to the day. The Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak in the early hours of the morning, with a maximum theoretical number of meteors per hour. The Geminid meteor shower is great for observation, not only because the meteors are slower, but the bright meteors also leave a white aftermath.

There is no geographical restriction on the observation of meteor showers, as long as the time coincides and the weather is fine, you can observe it with the naked eye! The premise is that the weather is clear and the air is ***!! It is better to observe the meteor shower in an open place with a wide field of view, and it is best to observe the meteor shower on the balcony of the high concession bridge, the large lawn, the inspection finger or the large playground of the school!!

On March 3, the radiant of the Quadrantids (60 200) will be visible overnight, and can be observed towards the zenith when there is no moon.

May 22 Lyrid meteor shower (20 90).

Aquariids on the 6th of the month (50).

Perseid meteor shower (80) on the 12th of May The radiant will be visible overnight, and it is sufficient to observe the zenith when there is no moon.

The Geminid meteor shower (120) radiant will be visible overnight on the 13th of the month, and it can be observed towards the zenith when there is no moon.

These are the most important meteor showers, the numbers in parentheses are zhr (radiant at the zenith, limit stars, etc., the sky is cloudless), yesterday I talked about the scum went to the most remote place in Shanghai, and the number of meteors observed was 40 of zhr, if it was in the city, it might only be 1.

There are also some meteor showers that can be kept an eye on.

The Taurid meteor shower in early October (many fire meteors).

Orionid meteor shower on October 17.

The Draconids on October 8.

I'm afraid I don't have time to analyze the landlord's demolition, and the above only analyzes the three most important meteor showers, because these observation conditions are the best, and they may be the most suitable for ordinary people to observe.
