Why is there a meteor shower in the north tonight?

On April 5, 2012, there was supposed to be a meteor shower activity, but by no means as the landlord said, only the north was visible. It's not as the landlord thinks, the stars are like falling.

Meteor showers are territorially small, and as long as there is one meteor shower event, at least half of the world can be observed. Although our country has a vast territory, the southernmost Zengmu Dark Sand is still north of the equator, and it is impossible for a meteor shower to be observed in the north of our country, but not in the south.

Secondly, I don't know, and I'm not very willing to find out what kind of sacredness it is. Because the traffic is too small, but more than 3, there are not as many occasional meteors. Find a moonless clear night, full of stars, the Milky Way hanging obliquely, and you can harvest at least five meteors.

In contrast, today's moon viewing is good, but observing meteors is really not worth it.

Meteor showers worthy of novice observation like the landlord, this year there are only the Immortals on August 12 and the Gemini on December 13, these two meteor showers have been waiting overnight, and there can be at least dozens of meteors (provided that there is a Milky Way). If you are really in a hurry, Tianqin on April 22 can also be considered, and it is estimated that more than 10 meteors can be waited for in the second half of the night.

Other meteor showers, no matter how much the Internet preaches (at least 7-8 meteor showers can be preached every year to have meteor showers, think about it feels fake ......Don't observe. Take advantage of the excitement and return home, please forgive me for reminding me then

In early August, you may wish to pay more attention to the weather, and if the weather is fine on the 12th and 13th, you may wish to come to the astronomical page to ask about relevant observations. Today, let's admire the moon, or do something more meaningful, the meteor shower, let the gods preach it.

Why do you want to eat? It's the same thing.

Today is July 22, 2020, and there are no meteor showers today. The most recent meteor shower was on May 5 – the Aquariid meteor shower.

This annual meteor shower is caused by Halley's Comet, and the constellation is streaked very fast (66 kilometers per second!). But for observers in the Northern Hemisphere, the shower's radiant (in the Aquarius constellation) is relatively low and won't rise too much above the horizon.

Plus, it only rises a few hours before dawn. To make matters worse, this year's best time to observe it will be ruined by a full moon that hangs in the sky almost all night.

Just now I saw something like a meteorite, streaked across the sky.

Didn't you look at the time, at 4 a.m. to see more.

There was only moderate rain, it was raining all the time, and there were no meteor showers.

Yes, I'm afraid you won't be able to see it.
