TV constellation Orion _ Orion play online

Can you see the Orion meteor shower with the naked eye?

Yes, our country can see the radiation point of Orion, so we can see it. Although it is said to be a meteor shower, the landlord should not think that it looks like rain as said on TV. This meteor storm is very rare. The latest meteor shower is the Leonid meteor shower in 200 1 year.

The Orion meteor shower is active in June at 5438+00 and1in early October 1 1, and its peak is in June at 5438+00 and 2 1. The radiation point of Orion rises from the east around 22: 00 in the second half of the year, with about 25 meteors per hour. This meteor shower may be affected by the light of the first quarter moon, but the first half of the night is ok, although there are fewer meteors.

Pay attention to the following points when watching the meteor shower:

1. Find the radiant point of the meteor shower, and don't look at the sky aimlessly. For example, the meteor shower in the constellation a few days ago, the radiation point rose in the eastern sky around 1, so look in the direction of the eastern sky: the best observation time is midnight.

2. If you want to find a place with less light pollution and good air quality to watch the meteor shower, the light source is a big obstacle, so you must see at least 100 stars in the place you find, so the effect will be better.

3. dark adaptation: from a bright place to a dark place, it takes about 2.3 minutes for the eyes to adapt to the darkness.

4. When watching the meteor shower, you need to use tools such as star maps and flashlights to find accurate radiation points. When looking at the star map with a flashlight, remember to cover it with a layer of red cloth to avoid being too dazzling and affecting the viewing.

5. Remember to watch the meteor shower with naked eyes. It is not suitable to use binoculars, because the field of vision of the telescope is too small and the field of vision of the naked eye is relatively large, so there are more meteors in the middle of the night from the perspective of the earth, which is also related to the brightness of the sky and the surrounding environment. Because many people have fallen asleep in the middle of the night, the light pollution is relatively small and the brightness of the sky is relatively dark, which is more conducive to watching meteors.

6. Watch the meteor shower to keep warm in winter. You can get a blanket on the ground to keep warm.

7. Record the number of fireballs and bright meteors you see, and count how many meteors you see.

Enjoy your viewing.
