Can Kunming see the Gemini meteor shower on 2011February 14 and the Ursa major meteor shower on 65438+February 23?

65438+February 14: Gemini meteor shower

This year's meteor shower is really not strong, and it will be affected by moonlight almost every time. This Gemini meteor shower is no exception. The radiant point of Gemini rises from the east around 20 o'clock. This constellation has two bright stars, Beihe II and Beihe III, so the whole constellation will not be difficult to identify. Watch the meteor shower with a fixed direction. Gemini meteor shower can be seen from the east after dark, and the whole constellation will rise gradually with time. The moon rises in the east around 22: 00 at night, so the whole stage of observing meteors will be disturbed. Until the next day, the moon was always in the northwest of Gemini.

So on the whole, the observation conditions are average, and the landlord should not think that the meteor shower looks like rain as said on TV. This kind of meteor storm is very rare. The latest meteor shower is the Leonid meteor shower in 200 1 year.

The meteor shower in Ursa minor on February 23, 65438 has not erupted on a large scale in recent years, and the number of meteors is very small. Not much ornamental value.

I hope it helps you.
