I am from Wenchang, Hainan. Can I watch the meteor shower tonight?

Hainan Wenchang can be seen on a clear night.

Meteor shower name: Perseid meteor shower

)

Comet matrix: 109 p/ Swift-tuttle

Radiation point:

Poerxiusi

(Poerxiusi)

Estimated date: 12-13.

Description: the flow rate is large, and the peak flow rate is about 60 per hour. Low brightness requires patience when observing.

In China, two mornings can be observed continuously: one is from 12 in August to before dawn; The other is from 0: 00 am to before dawn on August 13. Two mornings: in the first morning, the eastern part of China was basically unaffected by moonlight, but the number of meteors observed was relatively small; The first half of the next morning was slightly disturbed by moonlight, but the number of meteors observed was relatively large.

1. Maximum estimate: around 0: 40 and 5: 30 on 13.

2. Observation direction: The radiant point of Perseid meteor shower in the northeast of the sky will not rise from the horizon until 22 o'clock, and will rise even higher in the middle of the night.

The best observation time this year is in the dark night sky a few hours before dawn on August 12. If the day is cloudy, the observations on 1 1 and 13 are also important. Try observing in the middle of the night before the moon rises. Unfortunately, the height of the radiation point was still very low at that time, and only a few meteors in the group could be observed. At this time, the meteors observed in Perseus meteor group usually have long trajectories and produce meteor trails, but this situation is rare.
