Can the meteor shower in Ursa minor be seen in the south?

Don't expect the meteor shower in Ursa minor, which is almost impossible to see in the south.

Many meteor showers are divided into north and south, such as Gemini meteor shower, which is suitable for observation all over the country, but some meteor showers are divided into north and south. For example, this year's Draco meteor shower feasted the comrades in the northeast, but we really couldn't see anything in the south. Ursa minor is just the opposite, because Ursa minor is very close to the North Pole (that is, the constellation of Polaris), so the south will be very low and the number of meteors will be greatly reduced.

The meteor shower in Ursa minor is very small, with ZHR less than 20. In other words, if you are in an excellent observation site, there will be at most 20 meteors in an hour, and there will be only a few in Guangdong, not to mention that your observation environment is not so good and you can't see anything. If you really want to see the meteor shower, the Perseid meteor shower in August next year 13 is a very good choice.

Regarding the astronomical phenomena of 20 12, the first one is transit of venus. If you miss it, you will have to wait 235 years. This time, transit of venus is suitable for observation in China. Then there was an annular eclipse on May 2 1, and the annular eclipse belt was passing through Guangdong. There are also meteor showers.
