Anniversary Gemini Meteor Showers Will Come to Earth
Chinese Academy of Sciences Purple Mountain Observatory researcher Wang Sichao said that the Gemini meteor showers of this year would appear on December 14th at 7 o'clock.If the weather is fine, people can watch the showers by eyes.
It is understood that Gemini meteor shower is more suitable for observation, which has many characteristics: First, white color; second, slower meteoroids; third is a lot of bright meteors, meteor fire often appears; four days of its area in the Gemini almost radiant dawn to dusk rising from the east through the night are likely to observe meteors.
Wang said, This year most likely Gemini meteor shower in the evening of 14 7, then for the eastern region of China, the meteor shower's radiant point has been raised. But the ninth day of the waxing lunar calendar is also just empty, the impact of the observation can not be ignored. But after about at 1:00 on the 15th, the moon will fall, since the observing conditions would be more beneficial.
Wang said, Gemini meteor shower occurs each year the number of relatively stable, the interested public choice vision, no light of the Department to conduct observations.
Wang reminded that as human beings could not accurately calculate the current meteor shower parent comet dust particles in the distribution structure, which could not be like forecasting solar and lunar eclipses, as of the occurrence and scale of the meteor shower to make accurate forecasts. Observing the public should be psychologically prepared for certain.
The night of December 14th will most likely be the best night to observe the meteor shower. The best time to view a meteor shower is in the late night to early morning hours. This is because as the Earth rotates, we are moving away from the meteors during dusk and moving toward them during dawn. Therefore, a viewing time of 7 AM local time can often be the best time to view meteor showers. If this is inconvenient, however (we all have to sleep sometime), the meteors will be visible starting at dusk.
So if you want to see these meteors, you can just go outside after 10 PM local time or so, and sit in a reclining lawn chair or other comfortable seat. Bring nice, warm clothes and dress in layers, because its going to be cold. Face your chair to the East and look about half-way to overhead to see the most meteors. If you can see enough meteors, try and find the shower's radiant (trace each meteor backwards to find the radiant). The Geminids are also one of the few meteor showers that regularly display colored meteors, also, with colors ranging from green to blue, and sometimes even yellowish
