Can you see the meteor shower 12 in August in Lichuan, Hubei Province? What time is it exactly? Where can I see it?

You can see it in Lichuan, Hubei. Hubei is as far away from the city as possible. If you can see many stars at home, you can also see meteor showers, so don't stay away. Perseid meteor shower from August 20 12 to August 20 12 can be seen all over China (including Hubei province). But the weather is good+the light damage is small.

On the night of August 12- 13, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at 100 meteors per hour (ideally), which will actually be discounted to varying degrees.

Viewing time of Lichuan, Hubei: 12 August 23:00—— 13 August before dawn, midnight is the best. The waning moon coming out around 2 am in Lichuan, Hubei Province will affect the number of meteors, but it has little effect. You can also choose one of them to watch. In the first half of the night before 23 o'clock, there were few or no meteors because of the low radiation point. )

Where can I see it? Go outdoors on a sunny night a few days in advance, and choose an open place with less light damage. The more stars you can see, the denser the better. But please pay attention to all kinds of security issues, especially girls, who must be accompanied. Look as far away from the city as possible according to the size of light damage. Or ask parents and old people where they can see many stars and meteor showers.

Meteor showers are seen with the naked eye, without binoculars, and nearsighted people should wear glasses. Perseus will be located in the northeast, but the possibility of shooting stars in all parts of the sky is similar, and the direction is not important. It is best to lie in an open place and watch.

If the weather forecast says that the weather is not good tonight, you can also try to watch it two nights before and after tonight, which is the same time (23:00- before dawn the next day), but less frequently. In addition, there was a Gemini meteor shower on the night of 13- 14 this year (ideally 140 meteors per hour), and the viewing conditions were better than the Perseid meteor shower.
