This August 12, there will be a magnificent spectacle, we hope to have clear skies.
"The time to look is during the hours of darkness, before dawn on Tuesday, August 12," says Bill Cooke of the Meteoroid Environment, and NASA, the Marshall Space Flight Center. "There should be plenty of meteors, perhaps one or two per minute."
The origin of this rainfall is the comet Swift-Tuttle. Although the comet is far away from the Earth, currently located beyond the orbit of Uranus, a comet's tail of debris stretching across all the way back to Earth.
Meteor hunters will begin their watch early experts on Tuesday, August 11 at night, around 9:00 pm when the constellation Perseus in the northeast exit. This is the time to look for meteors Persians who come from the horizon and the air brush.
For a while the beautiful Moon will interfere with the Persians and the glow of the moon will not see, except the brightest meteors. Abracadabra. The situation is reversed at 2:00 am on Wednesday August 12, when the moon disappears and leaves behind a dark sky for the Persians. The rain lifted in the darkness, splashing the sky with dozens and perhaps hundreds of meteors until dawn.
For best results, "Stay away from city lights," Cooke advises. The Persians brightest can be seen from cities, states, but the most spectacular bursts, consisting of faint meteors and sensitive, can only be seen in rural areas.
