Want to see the meteor shower, when is a good time?

It is mainly an open place, on the flat land in the mountains. Surrounded by open areas without mountains and buildings, Bashang Grassland, Meili Snow Mountain and Chaka Salt Lake in Inner Mongolia are recommended. Interested citizens can go to 12 night to 13 morning, find a place with less light interference and less surrounding obstructions, and they can see the beautiful meteor shower with their naked eyes.

Matters needing attention in watching meteor shower

Before you decide to watch the meteor shower, you must know which constellation you can see and where the radiant point of the meteor shower is. It is easy to know what constellation you are looking at, but many people ignore the necessity of finding the radiation point of meteor shower. If you don't know where to look, you can go to the website of IMO (International Maritime Organization) to inquire about the meteor shower information of that year.

2. After you have an accurate star map when the maximum meteor shower occurs, you need to make real preparations in real life. First of all, you need to know the weather at that time. Weather factors are really important for watching meteor showers. If the weather at that time was slightly unsatisfactory, it would be difficult for you to observe the astronomical wonders of meteor showers. What needs to be explained here is that air quality also affects the observation of meteor showers. So, you must make sure the weather is fine and the air quality is at least good.

3, equipment is not needed, we just need to lie down and look at it with the naked eye; In summer, if you lie on the outdoor lawn, remember to lay a damp-proof mat.

4. Choose a good time. I often see some novices who can only watch meteor showers in the early hours of the morning, craning their necks and waiting there just after dark. Generally, after the radiation point rises, it can be judged whether the meteor is in the group, so when deciding to watch the meteor shower, it is best to check the time when the radiation point rises and sleep until then. Learn this by analogy, because you can't see the meteor after the radiation point falls.
