On August 13, Valentine's Day in China is called Qixi, and the Perseid meteor shower will come on that day to "entertain". Experts from the Provincial Astronomical Society said yesterday that the Perseid meteor shower landed in Chinese Valentine's Day, and it is possible to see a very prosperous scene, with dozens or even hundreds of meteors in 1 hour.
Perseid meteor shower is one of the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere. It always appears as scheduled from July 25th to August 18 every year. It is the most active and frequently observed meteor shower, and you can enjoy it as long as the weather permits.
It is understood that the merger of Perseid meteor shower and Chinese Valentine's Day is rare. The last time was in August 1994, and the next time will be in August 2032 12, which is equivalent to one in 19.
Perseid meteor shower, quadrant meteor shower and Gemini meteor shower are also called the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere, which are very popular because of their large flow. According to the person in charge of the National Astronomical Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the perseid meteor shower has a huge flow this year, which occurred at 2-4 am Beijing time 13. Not only did the number of meteors reach 100 per hour, but the observation after midnight was not disturbed by moonlight. If the weather is fine, astronomy enthusiasts can watch it as scheduled. In addition, Neptune will be staged on the 27th.

Best observation site
This meteor shower is so large that it can be seen all over the northern hemisphere.
Best observation time: 2 am to 4 am
Best observation site: Wuhan river beach, etc.
If you want to observe the meteor shower, you should first choose a suitable observation place, such as a place with a wide field of vision, and try not to have light pollution. The better the environment, the more meteors you can see. 13 is the largest cycle in the early morning, and I estimate that there will be some performance in the first two days.

Introduction to Perseus

Every autumn night, observers can find Cassiopeia in the northern sky, or Andromeda in the northeast of Pegasus Square, and then patrol along the Milky Way. Perseus is easy to find, which is made up of several second-class to third-class stars arranged in an arch or "herringbone" shape. Perseus occupies the 24th place with 6 15 square degrees. Latitude changes between+90 and? 35, and the best observation month is 65438+February.

Whether using binoculars or other telescopes, this is a good place to search for celestial bodies. There are many bright stars in this constellation. You can see the outline of the constellation even in the suburbs. The Milky Way in this galaxy is not as bright as Cygnus next to it, which enables people to see many bright clusters, gas nebulae and planetary nebulae. This constellation has two messier objects: M34 and M76.

Extending the diagonal lines of the quadrangle in autumn, namely Alpha Pegasus and Alpha Andromeda, to twice the distance, there is a bright star with the apparent magnitude of 1.8m, which is the brightest alpha star in Perseus.
From the star map, the most striking sign of Perseus is the big arc drawn from η star, through γ, α, δ and ε stars, and all the way to ξ and ζ stars. People call it "the bow of Poerxiusi". China is called "the boat in the sky".
