Can Harbin, Heilongjiang see today's meteor shower? I hope someone who understands can explain.

The Gemini meteor shower will reach its maximum at around 09: 00 on February 4th, Beijing time-it is estimated that the number of zenith meteors per hour (ZHR) can reach 120! This is the most spectacular meteor shower at the end of this year, which is very suitable for novices to observe. Friends who are disappointed with this year's Leonid meteor shower must not miss this grand ceremony.

In fact, watching the meteor shower requires a clear night and an open place away from light pollution. Any place that meets these two conditions can be used.

Beijing, Tianjin, Jinan, Dalian and other cities are likely to be sunny tomorrow night. I suggest going to the suburbs to see it. The lowest temperature at night is around-10℃.

The weather in Taiyuan and Urumqi is also good, but the lowest temperature will be around-14℃.

Cities in the northeast are very cold, really cold. For example: Shenyang -2 1℃, Changchun -26℃. If you are not super-hardcore, you should focus on health.

The weather in southern cities is basically terrible. However, if you can see the starry sky at night, it is strongly recommended that you also wait for the meteor.

Take Beijing as an example. In the morning of February 15, the moon will set at 1: 14, and the radiation point of meteor shower will be very close to the zenith, which is the best time for observation. In fact, the moon has been tilted to the western horizon since about 2 1 p.m. on February 26th, 14, which had little influence on Gemini rising in the east at that time. A good observation period has arrived, which can last until sunrise. During this time, the radiant point of Gemini meteor shower will always be in the night sky, so we don't have to worry about the interference of moonlight.

During this period, you may also see a distinctive ground-skimming meteor, which appears from the horizon (sometimes even below the horizon) and drags its long tail across the atmosphere almost horizontally. Therefore, the best viewing time is from midnight to midnight, and the night falls until the moon rises.

It is a long and cold thing to watch the meteor swarm in winter, so we must wait patiently for the appearance of the meteor swarm. If they haven't appeared yet and you feel terribly cold, then you may not last long. Therefore, make sure you can observe the meteor swarm in a warm and comfortable environment.

Gemini meteor shower is a very reliable meteor shower, which appears regularly every year. Gemini rises in the evening and remains high in the sky until dawn, visible all night.

Astronomical experts said that a striking feature of Gemini meteor shower is its high brightness, medium speed and rich colors, which is very attractive to visual observers, and the number of meteors is also more than that of Leonid meteor shower last month. Under ideal sky conditions, the number of theoretical zenith meteors per hour is about 120.

To sum up, if it weren't cloudy today, I would have seen it in Harbin, but now I want to see it in Kunming tonight. Friends at home remember to put on more clothes. I hope it will not be cloudy today.
