Al-Thawryat meteors raining down in the sky of Egypt today and tomorrow .. Know the details

Dr. Ashraf Tadros, former head of the astronomy department and professor of astronomy at the National Institute for Astronomical Research, revealed that we will be on the date today and tomorrow, Thursday, with the northern revolutionary meteor shower.

The former head of the astronomy department and professor of astronomy at the National Institute for Astronomical Research, in his statements, indicated that Al-Thuriyat meteors are a small meteor shower with an average number of meteors in it about 7 meteors per hour, yet this shower is known for its high brightness.

He explained: The northern revolutionary meteor shower occurs from dust grains left by the asteroid TG 10-2004, and this shower lasts from October 20 to December 10 and reaches its peak this year on the night of 11 to dawn the following day, November 12.

Tadros indicated that the thin crescent moon at dawn will not represent a big problem this year, as the sky will appear dark to provide an opportunity for astronomers to follow this event, explaining that the best viewing will be after midnight directly from a dark place far away from the city lights where the meteors appear as if they were coming from Taurus constellation, but meteors can appear elsewhere in the sky.
