One of the best astronomical events will happen this week, as the quadruple meteor shower sends 110 meteors across the night sky every hour, and the show is famous for producing bright “fireball” meteors that leave huge bursts of light. They say he’s famous. More durable color than regular meteorite streaks.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”, unlike most meteor showers that originate from debris left by comets, this meteor comes from asteroid 2003 EH1, which was first spotted more than 500 years ago by Chinese astronomers.
Although it technically started yesterday, it is seen as the first meteor shower every year because it peaked on Tuesday (January 3) and will officially peak at 03:00 GMT on Wednesday (January 4). From December 28, 2022 to January 12, 2023.
It is probably best viewed from the Northern Hemisphere during the night and pre-dawn hours, and is best viewed on a clear night.
And the Royal Astronomical Society said: “During meteor showers, the Earth passes through a cloud of debris left by comets and asteroids, and many meteors can be seen entering the atmosphere.”
And for the best conditions, the Royal Astronomical Society added, you should find a safe place away from street lights and other sources of light pollution.
