20111214 Can you see a meteor shower in Yanji City, Jilin Province?

Unlike a solar eclipse, a meteor shower can be seen half a world away (the night hemisphere). It can be seen in almost all areas of our country. Yanji City, Jilin Province is also ok (but don't expect rain). You don't need binoculars and other equipment, just watch the meteor shower with the naked eye, and the viewing angle is wider.

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.

What are the specific points? Meteor showers are not as predictable as solar and lunar eclipses. When do you think the meteorite will fall? Who knows? At present, the level of human science and technology is unpredictable. I can only tell you that Gemini alpha meteors have short paths and many bright meteors, mostly white meteors and medium-speed meteors, so 1 1- there are more meteors at 2 am. Northeast direction.

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!
