165438+1October 17 Can you see the Leonid meteor shower in Yanzhou, Jining, Shandong? What are the skills of watching!

Yes, Wang Sichao, a researcher at Purple Mountain Observatory of Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that this year's Leonid meteor shower is one of the more favorable viewing areas in China. Because China is the best observation time after 5 o'clock in the morning, when the moon has just set and the sun has not yet risen, there is no moonlight influence at this time, and the observation conditions are also the best.

Meteor shower viewing skills:

Pay attention to personal safety, and don't go to secluded places alone. Please inform your family or friends before you leave.

It's cold in the early morning, so be sure to wear warm clothes!

Find a dark place far away from the city or street lights with less light damage.

Pay attention to avoid places where snakes, insects and ants haunt.

Lying on the sofa or lawn, it is best to have a cushion, blanket or sleeping bag to protect you.

Look straight at the sky and choose the sky with the largest range you can see.

Let your eyes adapt to the dark environment for 30 minutes before watching, so that you can see more meteors.

You don't need a telescope to enjoy it with the naked eye, because the narrow field of vision of the telescope reduces the chance of seeing a meteor.
