Leonid meteor shower appearance record

In 902, Chinese astronomers recorded the Leonid meteor shower for the first time (the ancient astronomical record of China); 1799, the famous German scientist Humboldt recorded this phenomenon in Venezuela.

1833, a rare star rain appeared in North America. It is estimated that 240,000 meteors broke through the sky in 9 hours.

1866 Comet Temple-tatar was discovered and its orbit was determined, and star showers were observed in Europe.

1899, the expected star rain did not appear, and the public's confidence in the reliability of astronomical calculation was shaken;

During the period of 1933, there was still no report of star rain.

1966, the spectacular "star rain" appeared again in the midwest of the United States. It is estimated that there are 654.38 million meteors falling from the sky every hour during the rush hour.

1998 Leonid meteor shower visited the earth again, which made most modern people really realize this? King of meteor showers? .

At midnight of 2001118, more than 30 million people all over the world were waiting for the meteor shower.

2013165438+1October 17 The radiant point of this meteor shower is located in the head of Leo, and it will not rise until midnight in mid-June165438+1October.

After the meteor in the Leonid meteor shower, there will be a short cloud-like trace in the sky, which is the meteor trail. Fireballs (meteors brighter than Venus or minus 3 degrees) sometimes appear in Leonid meteor showers.

In the annual astronomical observation, the Leonid meteor group is very similar to an unstable rocky comet. Meteors have been around for many years, usually averaging over 65,438+05 meteors per hour. In some special years, Leo meteor swarms can suddenly eject spectacular meteor storms, with an average of thousands of meteors per hour.

The maximum discharge of Leonid meteor shower in 20 14 years is expected to be at 0: 00 and 6: 00 on June18, Beijing time, and the maximum discharge this time is 15 per hour.

Prediction of Leonid Meteor Shower

1833165438+1October 13 A 26-year-old female writer and astronomy enthusiast living in the suburbs of Boston saw the Leonid meteor shower, with an average of 580 per minute, 35000 per hour and 2 100.

She asserted that this meteor shower happens every 33 years, which is famous? Clark predicted? .

1866 meteor shower arrived as scheduled.

1899, Clark's daughter Hua Ti asserted that the meteor shower would come in 1 14 10, but there were few meteors.

1932 73-year-old Metalan was sure that the meteor shower would come back, but God played a joke. That night, the weather changed suddenly and the clouds were gathering.

1965, senior three student Melville didn't let his son Dean predict the coming of the meteor shower, but the meteor shower came anyway.

In 200 1 year, Dean and his daughter Ramon claimed that the meteor shower would come, but no one agreed, but the meteor shower still came, just three years late, which is still a mystery.

On may 19, 2002, the American Federation of Meteor Explorers awarded Ramon? Family Outstanding Achievement Award? .
