Already postedthat the Perseid rain peak is approaching. Peak rainfall is expected at night on Wednesday, August 12.
–
It will be possible to see the star rain immediately after dusk, in the dim period after sunset. But most “wishes can be elected” when a dark night comes.
–
To watch Persida, find a place with a clear view of the sky, such as an open mountain. The area should be as far away from artificial lighting as possible. Sit or lie down and look at the sky! No further effort is required.
–
The Media “Business Insider” reports that, unfortunately, the moon will provide some competition for this year’s Persian rain. The moon will be waning on the first day, so its natural glow will reduce the number of visible meteorites.
–
How many meteorites a person can see depends on many variables, but NASA says that in 2020, that number could average around 30 hours.
–
The rain of persecution will subside on the morning of Wednesday, August 12, but several “falling stars” will be seen a few days later.
–
Persides are the most popular and most observed meteor flow both in Latvia and elsewhere in the world. They occur at the intersection of the orbits of the Earth and Swift-Tatla comets. The remnants of this comet, in the form of larger and smaller stones, collide with the Earth’s atmosphere and, when burned, form flares and bright lines, which we call falling stars.
–
Each year, Persides is observed from July 17 to August 24, the maximum is usually around August 12, when 60 to 80 meteors per hour can be observed.
