65438+February 14: Gemini meteor shower
Gemini radiation spots can be seen in most parts of China.
Gemini rises in the northeast after 7: 00 p.m. and sets in the west after 4: 00 a.m. It can be seen all night, but the moon is still in a bright and fully convex stage, but it will sink shortly after midnight, leaving a dark sky. At this time, people can observe as many as 120 meteors per hour. For those who are not afraid of the cold, this is an opportunity that cannot be given up. The first half of the night is affected by moonlight, and the observation effect is better in the second half. Gemini radiation point is near the zenith. Just lie down and look up. Keep warm. It may be cold then. Watch the weather. There is another place where light pollution is relatively small.
But observing meteors requires high air and darkness. If you can't count more than 200 stars where you observe, I suggest you sleep.
Moreover, at the peak of Gemini meteor shower this year, the moon phase is close to the full moon, and the moonlight will cover most meteors. And the radiation point is less than 10 degrees from the moon. If you insist on reading, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
There are several points to explain about meteor showers:
First of all, the meteor shower is not like rain as expected. As long as all the meteors come out from one radiation point, it can be considered as a meteor shower. There are nearly 40 meteors every year. Think about how many meteors you can see every year. The meteor shower flow mentioned in the forecast refers to the number of meteors that can be seen at the zenith every hour when the meteor shower reaches its peak, under the conditions of no light, no moonlight, clear weather and no wind. It is very difficult to achieve this condition, so the number of meteors actually seen is greatly reduced. The major meteor showers every year are the quadrant meteor shower around 65438+1October 4th, Lyra meteor shower around April 22nd, Perseid meteor shower around August 13- 14,1October1.
Secondly, it is difficult to predict the meteor shower accurately to hours, because the mass of the material forming the meteor shower is very small, and a little gravitational disturbance will change the time to reach the earth.
Thirdly, never watch the meteor shower with binoculars, just use the naked eye. Using a telescope will seriously affect the effect because of the small field of view received.
Finally, my opinion is that if you don't like astronomy and just want to see meteor storms, then don't hold any hope. In fact, this is largely the result of media reporters' ignorance of astronomy and hype. They think the meteor shower is the same as that in 200 1 year. But if you want to observe, you must go to the wild or the suburbs, otherwise the city lights will make you see nothing.
