Aurigid Meteor Shower September 1, 2023
– Starting August 28-September 5, the Aurigid meteor shower originating from the fragments of comet Kiess (C/1911 N1) will peak on September 1. This meteor shower appears to be coming from the Auriga constellation which rises at 01:33 WIB. For observers whose horizon is blocked by trees or buildings, observations can be made around 03:00 WIB in the morning when the Auriga constellation is higher on the eastern horizon.
– At maximum, observers can see 6 meteors per hour. For 2023, the large convex Moon is still bright all night so it can be a challenge in hunting for meteors. Observations can still be made until September 5.Perseid Epsilon Meteor Shower September 9, 2023
– From September 5-21, the Perseid epsilon meteor shower, which also originates from the comet Swift-Tuttle, will reach its peak on September 9. This meteor shower appears to come from the constellation Perseus and at its peak produces 5 meteors every hour moving at a speed of 64 km/hour.
– The Perseus constellation rises at 22:07 WIB and the Perseid epsilon meteor shower can be observed since the Perseid constellation, which is the radian of this meteor shower, is above the eastern horizon. Observers can start hunting for the Perseid epsilon from 11:00 p.m. until just before the break of dawn. The best time to observe the Perseid epsilon meteor shower is at 03:45 WIB when the radiance reaches the highest point in the sky. The new crescent moon rises at 01:25 WIB and the illuminated surface of the moon is only 27%.
