When is there a meteor shower in Dongguan?

The Gemini meteor shower is active on December 7-17 every year, reaching its peak around the 13th to 14th. This is the case every year, because the intersection of Gemini's mother orbit and the earth is in that position, and it is active in those days every year, but it will be active at this time every year. This is the case in 21, 211 and 212, so I won't go into details later.

Secondly, the regionality of meteor shower is very small, and the Gemini meteor shower can be observed in the area north of latitude 6 south. Chongqing is a natural thing. I am in Shanghai, and the landlord is located in Chongqing (both by the Yangtze River). Although the difference is about 15 kilometers, it can be approximately considered that there is no significant difference in the observation conditions between the two places.

there are four main factors that affect meteor shower observation.

1. The intensity of a meteor shower, if the flow of a meteor shower is very small, naturally there are no meteors

2. The weather, if the sky is full of dark clouds, don't expect anything

3. The darkness of the sky, the number of meteors seen in a meteor shower is inversely proportional to the limit index (very important).

4. analyze the radiation point height angles

one by one. The flow of Gemini meteor shower is very stable, and it is around 12 at its peak every year, which means that 12 meteors can be observed in one hour under the best observation conditions. It is one of the three major meteor showers every year, and it is still very good.

The weather does not belong to astronomy, and now no one dares to say what the weather will be like in a certain place after half a year, so let's ignore it first.

the darkness of the sky. The first point is the moon phase. On December 13th, the moon phase (21) is the eighth day of the lunar calendar, and the moon also sets in the morning. It will be strongly influenced by the moon in the first half of the night, which will make the meteor shower flow 2-3 fold, and it is worth observing in the second half of the night. But if you can only see less than 2 stars in the city, the number of meteors will be discounted (even more)! There is no observation value for those who watch the excitement.

When the radiation point is below the horizon, no meteor can be seen (there will be a grazing meteor at the radiation point .5 below the ground level). The radiant point of Gemini meteor shower can be seen all night, which is not a serious problem.

generally speaking, the observation conditions of this Gemini meteor shower are good. It can be observed all night, especially at midnight. If the landlord can find a place where he can see the Milky Way in those days (the Milky Way is hard to find in winter), there will be at least 5 meteors a night (there is no problem with the observation method, even if there is a problem with the observation method, it will not be much less). If you can see more than 5 stars, it is no problem to break 1. However, if you are in a city, I'm afraid there are only about 1 in one night. If the conditions are very bad, or even none, please be prepared for observation in the city.

and pay attention to cold protection that day (if the weather is fine in winter, cold air must have come).

There is a Perseid meteor shower on August 12th, and the observation conditions are very good. You can use it to practice your hands.

the words of the family are for reference only.

Back to supplementary question: You can observe it all night, especially after the moon has set.

you will be seen in most parts of the country. It doesn't matter if I say it specifically. Hehe

Thank you for choosing me. I'm glad to help you.
