Do you know of any places in China where you can observe meteors?

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, the air is ***, the terrain is open, and it is better to observe the meteor shower in a place with a good view, preferably on a high balcony, a large lawn, or a large playground at school.

One of the larger meteor showers last year was the Perseid meteor shower, which reached its peak around August 13-14. Perseus is the constellation of the northern sky, which can be seen all over the country, and I saw it in Inner Mongolia, which is in harmony with the grassland, which is amazing.

Last year, we saw it in Xi'an, we happened to travel that day, and we saw a large group of people in the square to watch the meteor shower, and we also went to wait, and sure enough, it was worth the trip.

The Perseid meteor shower is extremely large around August 13 this year, with a peak flow of 116 meteors per hour, the field of vision is good enough, and the light pollution is not strong in the whole country, there are many meteor showers every year, but the maximum flow is different, more than hundreds of less and a few per hour, each field lasts about a month, and the length can be up to two months, which is not the peak of the Leonid meteor shower on the 18th of this month, with a flow of 20 meteors per hour.

I remember one year from July 20th to August 20th, the Perseid meteor shower would descend on the Northern Hemisphere as scheduled, and the early morning of August 13 was a good time to watch meteors at the Golden Dome of Mount Emei. I saw it once and it was spectacular.

My home is from Jinan, Shandong, and I have seen the tail of a comet (commonly known as a broom star) here, this astronomical phenomenon should be uncommon, and it can be seen in many places.

There are a lot of meteor showers, but the scale is not large, it is difficult to see, last year's one was different, especially strong, I remember being drinking outside, many people did not eat and ran out to see the meteor shower, by the way, I am from Heze.

We can see here, I am here in Nanjing, I saw it once in 09 years, I saw it once with an astronomical telescope, it is very clear, if you want to see it, it is recommended to buy one.

I heard others say that as long as the field of vision is okay, you can see the meteors that pass through China anywhere, anyway, I saw the meteor shower in Shandong in 16 years.

I am from Mianyang, Sichuan, and I started waiting outside at eight o'clock, and I saw the first one at nine o'clock, and then I saw six or seven one after another, and called my parents and younger brother out to see it, it was very beautiful, but I was so excited that I forgot to make a wish.

What kind of meteor shower came when I was 16 years old, I watched it with my girlfriend, our family is in Hainan, very beautiful, it was I proposed to her that day, and now he is my wife.

I just went outside and saw a meteor, and it was a white light! The speed passed quickly!

The earliest discovery and recording of meteor rain was in 687 B.C. In the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", there is a record of "Emperor Xia in the fifteenth year, the stars fell like rain in the night", and the most detailed record can be found in the "Zuo Biography": "In the summer and April of the seventh year of Lu Zhuang Gong, the stars were gone, and the stars fell like rain in the night.

The seventh year of Lu Zhuang Gong is 687 BC, which is the earliest record of the Lyrid meteor shower in the world.

And the scene when the Perseid meteor shower appeared is also unforgettable from ancient records. Please see: Tang Xuanzong:

In May of the second year of Kaiyuan, there are stars flowing northwest, or such as urns, or such as buckets, through the North Pole, the small ones are innumerable, the stars are shaken, and the dawn is the end. The second year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty was 714 A.D.

From the perspective of modern astronomy, China is one of the earliest countries in the world to develop astronomy. According to the literature, it is more than 4,000 years away.

Before Rong, Emperor Yao had a Si Tianguan. With the progress of society, ancient astronomy has developed rapidly. In terms of celestial observation, there were written records of celestial phenomena in China in the 16th century B.C., and they successively left behind notes about sunspots, comets, meteors, novas, the sun and the moon, as well as various star charts and star catalogs, which are rich in content and continuous in age, many of which are the earliest records in the world; In terms of astronomical theories and astronomical instruments, they created such an insightful cosmology as the armillary theory, and invented the armillary sphere, the simple instrument and other celestial measuring instruments that illuminated later generations; In terms of calendar, as early as the 16th to 11th centuries BC, China already had a primitive calendar, which has been continuously reformed and improved to this day, which not only takes care of the synodic month, but also considers the return year, which is a unique lunisolar calendar.

As early as the Neolithic Age, the ancestors of China noticed the close relationship between the weather and the periodic changes of the celestial phenomena, so they began to observe the sun, the moon and other celestial phenomena. Since then, the Chinese have been working hard for a long time to observe and record celestial phenomena, and have made brilliant achievements, leaving various records about sunspots, comets, meteors, novas, etc. These astronomical chronicles are not only detailed and chronological, but many of them are the earliest records in the world, and still play an important role in the study of modern astronomy, and are an extremely valuable cultural heritage.

First, meteors appear randomly and every day, but because of the rotation of the Earth, generally speaking, there are more meteors in the second half of the night than in the first half of the night. Second, there are a few points that need to be explained about meteor showers: First, meteor showers are not like raining rocks as imagined, as long as meteors come out of a radiant, they can be considered meteor showers. There are nearly 40 meteor showers that can be called meteor showers every year, and you only have to think about how many meteors you can see every year.

The larger meteor showers of the year include the Quadrant meteor shower around January 4, the Lyrid meteor shower around April 22, the Perseid meteor shower on August 13-14, the Leonid meteor shower on November 17-18, and the Geminid meteor shower around December 14. Second, it is difficult to predict meteor showers to the hour, because the mass of matter that forms meteor showers is very small, and the slightest gravitational disturbance will change the time to reach the Earth. Again, you must not use a telescope for meteor showers, you can use the naked eye, and the use of telescopes will seriously affect the effect because of the small field of view received.

Finally, my advice is that if you're not a hobby of astronomy and just want to see meteor showers, don't look no further. In fact, this is largely the result of the fact that the reporter does not understand astronomy and hype. They thought the meteor showers were the same as the one in 2001.

If you want to observe, you have to go to the field, at least to the suburbs. Because the lights in the city will interfere with the lights and you won't be able to see anything.

How are meteors formed?

As the meteor rushes through the layer of air around the Earth, the friction caused by the gas molecules that make up our planet's atmosphere heats it up, and the surface of the meteor begins to heat up and glow. Eventually, heat and high velocity combine to cause the meteor to evaporate high above the Earth's surface. Larger pieces of debris shattered, scattering many pieces in the sky.

Most of these fragments will also be vaporized. When this happens, observers can see around the meteor"Flares", see different colors. These colors are due to the fact that the gases in the atmosphere are heated along with the meteors, as well as the material from the fragments themselves.

Some of the larger fragments will produce very large Zen sparrows in the sky"Flares", often referred to:"Imitation of a collapsing fire meteor"。

Meteorite impact. Larger meteors survive early in the morning after crossing the atmosphere and land on the Earth's surface or in bodies of water, known as meteorites. Meteorites are usually very dark, smooth rocks that often contain iron or a combination of stone and iron.

Many of the space stone blocks that go to the ground and are found by meteorite hunters are quite small and cannot cause much damage. Only larger meteoroids produce a crater when they land. They also don't emit heat – another common misconception.

According to the records of meteors throughout the ages, the ancient Chinese regarded meteors as a sign of evil, and once the astrological observers discovered the meteor phenomenon, they would report to the emperor that something major had happened. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", before Zhuge Liang's death, there were meteors across the sky, suggesting that the stars would fall. So how are meteors formed?

Under what circumstances can we see meteors with the naked eye? Does a meteor really symbolize that something is going to happen? Next, we will take you to understand the formation process of meteors.

We have to know that there are a lot of meteorites in space, and these meteorites are drifting to the earth with space, and they are flying towards the earth because of gravity, and the earth's atmosphere is prepared for this. These stones in space are heated by friction in the atmosphere, and they will soon burn up, and some of them will even be burned clean if they don't fall to the ground, and those that can really fall to the ground will also be called meteorites. The process of burning and falling these stones is often like a beautiful streamer, which is commonly known as a meteor.

Therefore, the essence of meteors is the stones in space, they do not represent any meaning, seeing meteors will make dreams come true, and it is just people's good hopes. <>

The phenomenon of meteors has also attracted a lot of astronomy enthusiasts, especially when meteor groups arrive, and there are many astronomy enthusiasts who bring their own observation equipment to go. In fact, meteors are actually relatively common, but if we live in cities, because our cities are often brightly lit now, and the sky can be obscured by observing the sky at night, except for the brightest stars, the sky is often invisible to the source. Therefore, in order to see meteors, we may have to choose the best observation point in the field, and we can bring macros to rent telescopic equipment.

That's all about what exactly a meteor is and how it is formed. If you are really interested in meteors, you can still join the Association of Astronomy Lovers and join them to find observation sites and enjoy fleeting fads together.

The small-mass celestial body enters the atmosphere of the earth, and the atmosphere is violently rubbed, and finally begins to burn, glowing and heating, which is the predecessor of the meteor. Meteors actually happen every night, it's just a matter of whether they are noticed and whether they are covered by lights. The appearance of meteors is random, and no one knows when the next meteor will come out.

However, due to the rotation of the Earth Rebellion Ball, it is generally said that there are more meteors in the second half of the night than in the first half of the night.

Meteors may come from the stones that Kaisui had in the interstellar sky at the birth of the solar system, or the stones of the bearers of asteroids. If you want to see a spectacular meteor shower, be sure to go to a place with less light pollution, clear air and a wide field of view.

The earth is round, what meteor shower are you talking about?

A meteor is a sight that burns up when a meteorite in the sky passes through the atmosphere.
