Jakarta –
In 2024, there will be dozens of astronomical phenomena that you can observe. In fact, there will be dozens of meteor showers this year.
Researcher at the Space Research Center, BRIN Aeronautics and Space Research Organization, Farahhati Mumtangana, explained in detail the astronomical phenomena that will occur during 2024. There are new moon, full moon and supermoon phases.
“To observe phenomena, it is also necessary to pay attention to the presentation of lunar illumination in relation to the phases of the Moon. The new moon is better for observing, compared to the full moon because the light is too bright, beating out other celestial objects,” said Farah on the BRIN website, quoted on Wednesday (24/ 1/2024).
Furthermore, there will be the phenomenon of solar and lunar eclipses. However, this annual phenomenon does not cross Indonesian territory.
“There is also an eclipse phenomenon in 2024, but unfortunately it will not cross Indonesian territory. However, it can be taken into consideration if you want to plan a tour or expedition to chase the eclipse,” he explained.
There will be dozens of meteor showers in 2024
Farah also explained another interesting event, namely the meteor shower. Meteor showers occur when meteoroid sky objects burn up when they enter the Earth’s atmosphere. These objects could come from the remains of comets or asteroids that also orbit the Sun.
“To hunt for meteors, you need to pay attention to the Moon’s illumination, the peak of the event, and constellations near the radiant,” he said.
To observe a meteor shower, you can look for a dark place with a wide view without being blocked by tall buildings, such as in the mountains or on the beach. If it 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,” he said.
Phenomenon Does Not Directly Impact Humans
Farah reminded that there are no phenomena that directly impact human life. Although it exists for certain phenomena such as space weather.
“Let’s immortalize one or more of these phenomena and make it a memory of a beautiful experience, which might be once in a lifetime,” he said.
