Can you see the 8. 12 meteor shower in Siping City, Jilin Province?

Siping city can see that the farther away from the urban area, the better. The Perseid meteor shower from August12,2065438 to August13,2065438 can be seen all over China (including Jilin Province). But the weather is good+the light damage is small.

On the night of August 12- 13, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at 100 meteors per hour (ideally), which will actually be discounted to varying degrees.

Specific viewing time: Because the radiation point in Siping rises all night, and the height angle is high, you can watch it all night, and midnight is the best! The waning moon around 0- 1 o in Siping morning will affect the number of meteors, but it has little effect. You can also choose one of them to watch.

Where to look: as far away from Siping city as possible. Go out on a sunny night in advance and choose an empty place with less light damage. The more stars you can see, the denser the better. But please pay attention to all kinds of security issues, especially girls, who must be accompanied. Or ask parents and old people where they can see many stars and meteor showers.

Meteor showers are seen with the naked eye, without binoculars, and nearsighted people should wear glasses. Perseus will be located in the northeast, but the possibility of shooting stars in all parts of the sky is similar, and the direction is not important. It is best to lie in an open place and watch.

If the weather forecast says the weather is bad tonight, you can try to watch it two nights before and after tonight, but less often. In addition, there was a Gemini meteor shower on the night of 13- 14 this year (ideally 140 meteors per hour), and the viewing conditions were better than the Perseid meteor shower.
