How to Observe Meteor Showers
Still from the BRIN page, to observe the beauty of meteor showers in the sky of course detikers need to know the right method.
Researcher at the Space Research Center, BRIN Aeronautics and Space Research Organization, Farahhati Mumtangana, said that observing meteor showers can be done by looking for a dark place with a wide view (no tall buildings). For this reason, detikers can observe this celestial phenomenon in the mountains or on the beach.
If you can stand under the radiant in any hemisphere then there will be more meteor showers.
“You can also use a tent while camping or prepare a seat/sofa because the wait can take a long time. And when you go out there can be a lot, but the pause is also long. While chatting with friends and bringing supplies will also be fun,” said Farahhati, who was quoted as saying from long ago BRIN.
So, that’s the list of peak meteor showers that will occur throughout 2024. Don’t forget to note the date, detikers!
