Meteor showers happen every day, but the presence of meteor shower activity does not mean that it is necessary to observe them.
If you are really in a hurry, Lyra on April 22 can be considered. However, it is recommended to go to the Immortals on August 12th.
Don't miss the end of the year on December 13.
As for the other meteor showers advertised, please ignore the landlord, even if it is national**, you can juxtapose Gemini and Ursid meteor showers, you know, the flow of the latter is only one-twentieth of the former. For a novice like the landlord, it is more appropriate to observe the three major meteor showers (Quadrant on January 3, Perseus on August 12, and Gemini on December 13).

This year's Geminid meteor shower occurred from December 7 to 17, with a peak at 18 o'clock Beijing time on December 14, and the number of meteors could reach up to 120. In order to avoid the influence of moonlight, the most suitable observation time is from 1:30 to 2 o'clock on the 14th and 15th, a short period of time after the moon and before dawn. In addition, in the early morning of the 13th and 14th, it can also be observed.
Observing the Geminid meteor shower is as simple as finding an open spot and setting the field of view near the zenith.

Pure Chinese, adjust the time by yourself, don't forget to adjust the number of meteor showers in the setting to the maximum, easy to record the time.

The last time it rained was on August 13, 1994, and the next time it will be in 2032.

Leo stream on November 18.
The star shower has passed, and it is from two to six o'clock in the morning on November 18th! Now there is another meteor version of the rain this year.
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 December 7 to 17. The 2009 Geminid meteor shower will reach its peak in the early morning of the 15th, with a theoretical number of meteors up to 120 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 good view, preferably on a high balcony, a large lawn, or a large playground at school!!
Leonid meteor rainstorms bloom in the starry sky like fireworks, and there is no need to think about the direction at all, as long as it is not raining or cloudy, it can be seen from all over the country. Have you seen the 2002 Leonid meteor shower? It's all over the sky! Hehe!

From December 10 to December 17, it peaked on December 15. I was also told by others.

Just ended.
Let's watch the news report.

Meteor showers occur every day, but there is not much traffic on weekdays.

From the night of August 12 to the dawn of August 13, the famous Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak at this time, and residents in the northern hemisphere, including Shanghai citizens, can witness about 100 meteors streaked across the sky every hour.
According to experts at the Purple Mountain Observatory in Nanjing, the formation of the Perseid meteor shower is related to a parent comet named Swift --- Tuttle. After the comet broke apart, a long belt of "gravel" formed near its orbit, and when it passed the earth, a large number of "rubble" would enter the earth's atmosphere, collide violently with atmospheric molecules, friction and generate heat and luminescence, thus forming a spectacular meteor shower. As early as 687 B.C., China recorded the scene of "stars falling like rain in the night", which is the earliest record of meteor showers in the world.
Among the many visible meteor showers, the "rainfall" of the Perseids is the most stable, which will last from the end of July to mid-August, and this year's maximum center will appear around 4 a.m. on the 13th. In order to obtain the best viewing angle, experts recommend that the public should adopt a lying posture when viewing. Due to the influence of city lights, observers should set their observation points in the suburbs with a dark skylight background. It was the beginning of the lunar month, and there was no moonlight interference in the middle of the night, and the observation conditions were very ideal.

August 13 every year.
The Perseid meteor shower is extremely large.
As one of the three major meteor showers in the Northern Hemisphere, the Perseid meteor shower has a relatively stable flow, and the lowest ZHR value can reach about 100. In other words, it is very normal to see about 60 in an hour at maximum time. According to the forecast, there will be two maximums for the meteor shower this year, from 13:00 to 15:30 on August 13 and at 23:00 Beijing time.
It coincided with the first day of the seventh month, and the moonlight would not interfere with it all night. The Perseid meteor shower has a large number of bright stars and a moderate velocity of meteors, making it suitable for both visual and photographic observations.
In addition, there is the Cygnid meteor shower on August 18.
If you like, it is recommended that you go to a place where the sky is clear and there are no lights!

The range of meteor showers in general is global. The reason why you can't see it is because of local reasons such as weather.

Shout out loud. Let the whole world hear.
There will be a meteor on August 12th. That's going to be a good opportunity.

I don't know, I want to ask you!
-
Ask the weather station. They should know.

Year 2345.
Because it was a good year.
Because the number of meteors is not only related to the flow, but also related to the height of the radiant, after the radiant rises at 22 o'clock, the flow may gradually decrease, but the elevation angle of the radiant gradually increases, as for the change in the number of meteors, it is difficult to say. The accuracy of the forecast for meteor showers is not very high, and it is entirely possible to be at peak for a few hours, so I am afraid that the exact time cannot be given for this question.
December is destined to be a romantic month. In addition to the total lunar eclipse, on the 14th of this month, the starry sky will also be romantic, and the Geminids, Ursid meteor showers, and Mercury's western elongation are also worth looking forward to. >>>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.
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
Meteor showers are astronomical phenomena.
A meteor shower is an astronomical phenomenon in which many meteors are emitted from a so-called radiant in the sky in the night sky. 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, so almost all meteoroids are destroyed in the atmosphere and do not hit the Earth's surface; Debris that is capable of hitting the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. >>>More
