Anonymous users2024-02-10The exact time of the meteor shower in September 2021.
September 1: Auricorn meteor shower maximum (ZHR 6);
9 September: September Perseid meteor shower maximum (ZHR 5);
ZHR Explanation: Zenithal Hourlyrate (ZHR) is an astronomical term. Chinese translation of proper nouns from astronomy approved by the Astronomical Terminology Examination and Approval Committee of the Chinese Astronomical Society.
Assuming that the radial point is located at the zenith at an elevation angle of 90 degrees, ideally the flow value of the highest number of meteors that can be seen by an observer with naked eyesight. What can actually be seen will be lower than this value.
ZHR should not be translated as "Zenith hourly flow", and the International Meteor Organization (IMO) does not have words like "ZHf=Zenith hourly flow" or "ZHN=ZHN=Zenith hourlynumber". Encyclopedia and World Wide Encyclopedia follow the Chinese version of the "2018 Meteor Shower Calendar" released by the International Meteor Organization on December 21, 2017, and translate the Chinese of zhr as "zenith hourly occurrence rate". The open-source starry sky simulation soft song closure piece Stellarium (Virtual Planetarium) has been updated with the translation of zh and zh cn in the latest version.
What time does the 2021 Auridoid meteor shower start?
The maximum of the 2021 Auridids will occur on Wednesday, September 1, around 5:17 a.m. Beijing time. Therefore, if you want to ** this year's Auridoid meteor shower, you should be prepared on the night of August 31, and then set an alarm clock at 5 o'clock in the morning on September 1, otherwise you will miss this meteor shower.
How long does the Auridids last?
This year's Auridoid meteor shower lasts only about one hour and is expected to end around 6:30 a.m. on September 1. However, at this time, it is already dawn in some areas of the southern part of China, which is not conducive to observing meteor showers, so it is recommended to get up before dawn to watch.
How many Orodids are there per hour?
The theoretical peak flow is about 100 meteors per hour, and the meteors are many and bright, which is also very friendly to non-professional observers. However, it is much less impressive than the Perseid meteor shower that appeared on August 13.

Anonymous users2024-02-09In 2020, the Quadrant meteor shower will reach its peak around 16:20 Beijing time on January 4.
From December 28, 2019 to January 12, 2020, people can see the meteor shower's intragroup meteors, and its maximum flow usually occurs around January 4, when the number of meteors in the group can usually reach about 120 per hour, assuming that the radiant is at the zenith, but the actual number of meteors that can be observed will be much smaller.
Although the flow of the quadrant meteor shower is not small, the peak lasts for a short time, and the flow decreases rapidly after the peak. Therefore, for the Chinese public, the best observation period is from the evening of the 3rd to the early morning of the 4th, and the moon will set after 0:00 a.m. on the 4th, without moonlight interference, which is also more conducive to observation.

Anonymous users2024-02-08There are meteor showers.
The Leonid meteor shower appears around November 14 to 21 each year. The Leonid meteor shower, known as the king of meteor showers, is a meteor shower connected to Comet Temple-Tuttle, which has a period of about 33 years.
Generally, the Leonid meteor shower has a meteor count of about 10 to 15 meteors per hour, but the Leonid meteor shower peaks every 33 to 34 years on average, and the number of meteors can exceed thousands per hour. This phenomenon is closely related to the time of the comet Temple Tuttle.
Meteor shower astronomical phenomena.
A meteor shower is an astronomical phenomenon in which many meteors are excavated in the night sky from a field in the sky called a radiant emission. 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 selling core; 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. The last major meteor shower of 2021 will open into the night sky on December 14, with up to 150 meteors expected per hour.
If the weather is good, you can do it.
Observation period. 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. >>>More
Each meteor shower is active at a specific time of the year. For example, the Perseid meteor shower is at its peak on August 12 every year, which is my birthday. So every year on my birthday, I will pay attention to the weather forecast, is it on the mountain? Or is it to celebrate at home? >>>More
It's very simple, you know the Hubble telescope, it's a space eye, plus the data is processed by a large computer, and it's a piece of cake to calculate that.
November 18 at 6:00 a.m. The Leonid meteor shower is at its maximum (peak 11:00 a.m.) and the radiant will rise from the east. >>>More
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
