June 2 constellation

What is the constellation on June 2nd?

June 2nd is Gemini.

Gemini is located between Taurus and Cancer, with Auriga and Tmall in the north and Sagittarius and Canis in the south. Auriga and the very humble Tmall are located in the north, while unicorns and Canis canis are located in the south.

During the period from 1 century to 1990, Gemini is the star house where the summer solstice is located, that is to say, the sun will appear in Gemini on the first day of summer. Due to the precession of the earth's axis, the summer solstice moved to Taurus after 1990. However, Gemini is considered as a fixed sky area, and Gemini has never overlapped with Gemini since modern times.

Gemini meteor shower is one of the three major meteor showers in the northern hemisphere. Usually, it reaches the peak flow from 12 to 14, and the highest ZHR reaches 100, which is very stable and deeply loved by astronomy enthusiasts.

On June 5438+February 65438+April, 2020, the Gemini meteor shower arrived as scheduled, and two bright fireballs appeared, which were brighter than Venus in the southeast sky.
