Anonymous users2024-02-08Here's a look at the main meteor showers of the year:
The Quadrant meteor shower (about 120 ZHR) is one of the three major meteor showers throughout the year. The moon phase in 09 is winding, and there is no moonlight in the second half of the night, so it has little impact.
The Lyrid meteor shower (about 20 ZHR) has a relatively stable cycle. It was close to the new moon at this time in '09, and it worked well, but the moon rose before dawn.
The Perseid meteor shower (ZHR about 120) is one of the three major meteor showers of the year. 09 is the last quarter moon, and the second half of the night will be affected, but the moonlight will not be too strong.
The Leonid meteor shower (about 500 ZHR) has excellent results when the Moon rises later than the Sun. According to the forecast, in 09 the Earth passed through the dust belt left by the comet Temple Tuttle in 1466, and the "Lion King" is likely to have a brief eruption (including many fire meteors), which is the most anticipated this year.
The Geminid meteor shower (about 120 ZHR) was completely destroyed by the Full Moon last year, and this year it is the waning moon and does not have much effect.

Anonymous users2024-02-07The Leonid meteor shower has a small peak this year. On November 17, the annual Leonid meteor shower arrives. The most favorable time for observing this meteor shower is from November 17 to 20, especially around 5:49 on the 20th, the Leonid meteor shower may have an "explosion".
At that time, about a few dozen to five hundred meteors streak across the sky every hour.
Meteor shower name: Capricornids Cohort (Capricornids) Comet Parent Body: Not yet determined.
Radiant: Capricornids Expected date: July 29-30.
Description: At its peak, there are about 15 meteors, and the proportion of fire meteors is large, showing a bright yellow color, and the speed is slow, only about 25 kilometers. The observation height is low.
Meteor shower name: Leonids Cohort Comet Matrix: 55p Tempel-Tuttle radiant: Leo (Leo).
Expected date: November 17-18.
Description: The Leonid meteor shower has a peak flow in 33 years, and the peak flow can reach hundreds of birds per hour. The next peak is about 30 years later, and although it is not the peak period, you can still see some scattered meteors streaked across the sky.

Anonymous users2024-02-04The Leonid meteor shower is held every year from November 14 to 21, especially around November 17, when some meteors burst out from the direction of the constellation Leo, which is the Leonid meteor shower. The reason why the Leonid meteor shower arises is due to the presence of a comet called Temple Tatel.
The comet revolves around the sun, and at the same time, it constantly dismisses its own material, like a pesticide, scattering many small particles in its orbit, but these small particles are not evenly distributed. Some places are thin, some places are dense, and where the earth encounters thin particles, there are fewer meteors, and when it encounters dense places, there are more meteors. These small particles are susceptible to a variety of factors and drift away, but when the comet returns, the Earth passes through the dense area of particles it has recently released.
People on Earth will see massive meteor showers. Comet Temple Tattle returns again in March this year, so this year or next year there will be a spectacular Leonid meteor shower. Since Comet Templetl has a period of years, the Leonid meteor shower is a typical periodic meteor shower, with a cycle of about 33 years.

Anonymous users2024-02-03Leonid meteor shower: The Leonid meteor shower occurs around November 14 to 21 each year. In general, the number of meteors is about 10 to 15 per hour, but on average, the Leonid meteor shower peaks once every 33 to 34 years, and the number of meteors can exceed several thousand per hour.
This phenomenon is related to the cycle of the comet Tamp-Tate. When a meteor shower is generated, the meteor appears to be emitted from a specific point in the sky, called a "radiant", so named because the radiant of the Leonid meteor shower is located in the constellation Leo.
The Leonid meteor shower (about 500 ZHR) has excellent results when the Moon rises later than the Sun. According to the forecast, in 09, the earth passed through the dust belt left by the comet Temple-Tuttle in 1466, and the "Lion King" is likely to have a brief eruption (including many fire meteors), which is the most anticipated "sub-rainstorm level" meteor shower this year.
In fact, there are meteors every day, and when the environment is good and the light pollution is not serious, you may see a meteor passing by if you look up at the sky for a long time, but these are called"Occasional meteors"It's random. However, meteor showers have a fixed time and direction to be observed. And for me, China, which is located in the northern hemisphere. >>>More
You just think of every star as a meteor shower.
Several statements are true, and they are not contradictory: >>>More
The Leonid meteor shower is held from November 14th to 21st every year, especially around November 17th, and some meteors burst out from the direction of the constellation Leo, which is about a little north-east and a horizontal altitude of about 40 degrees in the sky, which is the Leonid meteor shower. Therefore, the exact date is difficult to determine, as meteor showers can be seen during this time, but the clarity of the sight is different. It is mainly affected by factors such as the rotation of the earth, solar activity, and local climatic conditions.
