Can Chongqing see a meteor shower tonight?

The area of meteor shower is very small, and the observation conditions of a meteor shower in China are similar. Perseus is the north star, which can be seen all over the country. The sky will be brilliant in August. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Beijing Planetarium that Perseus, one of the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere, will appear in the night sky on August 13, and about 100 meteors will shoot out from Perseus every hour, which the public can watch with the naked eye. However, due to the influence of the first quarter moon, the observation conditions in Beijing are not ideal. According to Kouwen, a senior engineer of Beijing Planetarium, the discharge time of Perseid meteor shower is long, from 1: 30 to 13 at 4: 00 in the morning, and the maximum number of meteors per hour can reach 100. Unlike the Leonid meteor shower in June+065438+1October in 5438, this meteor shower occurred in summer, and even at night, the temperature was not too low, which was more suitable for field observation. There are two ways to observe meteor showers: visual observation and photographic observation. Any meteor, its appearance time and location are completely unknown in advance. If you want to see as many meteors as possible, you'd better lie flat on the ground and observe the night sky for a long time. ◎ Other astronomical phenomena this month ◎ On August 15, Jupiter overtook the sun, which is the closest moment for Jupiter to the Earth and the best time to observe Jupiter in a year. At sunset in the evening, people can see Jupiter rising from Ran Ran in the east, and it will rise to the sky at midnight. The best time to observe Jupiter's influence on the sun is midnight. From August of 15 to the end of this year, Jupiter will appear in the eastern night sky on time every night. Observation reminder: Jupiter can be observed with the naked eye when it rushes to the sun, preferably with an astronomical telescope. ◎ On August 18, Neptune will hit the sun. On August 18, three days after Jupiter's collision with the sun, Neptune will also collide with the sun. At this time, Neptune is closest to the earth. Neptune rises from the eastern horizon at sunset and does not set in the west until the sun rises the next day, so it can be observed all night. Observation reminder: it is recommended to observe with a medium telescope. ◎ On August 25th, Mercury was in the east of normal, because Mercury was located in the western sky and close to the sun, so Mercury was often submerged in the sunlight. However, when the distance between mercury and the sun is in the east, the angular distance between mercury and the sun reaches the maximum. In the east of the sun, mercury can be found on the western horizon by naked eyes at dusk. Observation reminder: If the weather conditions are good, 20 to 50 minutes after sunset in the afternoon is the ideal observation time.
