Phaeton. At peak hours, the hourly flow can reach hundreds.

Unlike solar eclipses, meteor showers can be seen half a world away. It can be seen in almost all areas of our country. The same is true of Shantou. Do not need binoculars and other equipment. You can watch the meteor shower with the naked eye, which gives you a wider perspective.

Moonlight will reduce the observation effect of meteor shower. But the biggest influence of moonlight is photographic observation. If a long exposure time is used, some dark meteors will be submerged in the background skylight. The influence of visual inspection is relatively small.

So if the weather is fine at that time, I suggest you choose an open and unpolluted place in the suburbs of your city. When great responsibilities come, wait patiently with your close lover for a while after dark at night. I believe there will be gains. Good luck.
