King of the meteor shower Leonids

 Meteor Shower King Leonids
the famous Leonid meteor Since 2001 a large outbreak in recent years has been the independent experts estimated that this year's Leonids may be big outbreak. observing conditions are ideal,bailey UGG boots, not subject to observation of the moon is very worthy of our fans to enjoy astronomy.
is predicted Leonid meteor shower this year,Discount UGG boots, the active period November 10 - 21, November 18 early morning to reach its apogee. forecast per hour up to 100 days of flow over the top, some experts predict that in at 5:44 on the 18th, and 5:51, there will be Two meteor storm peak flow levels, flow rates of hourly zenith 950 and 600 or so, there may even be thousands of meteors.
in Dalian in November 17 Leonid meteor shower radiant elevation time Around 23:30, 18 November Dalian Sunrise time 6:39, at 2:00 on the 18th to 5:30 this time we can observe.
meteor shower in the observation should note the following Points:
1, meteor shower observation is the key factor depends on the weather,cheap UGG boots, the requirements of the sky must be clear.
2, the choice of location should pay attention to avoid light interference, select the vision, the best in the suburbs, the beach or no light pollution and the surrounding tall buildings block the school grounds and other places.
3,  meteor shower is the best way to use eyes and hands, because the maximum field of view of the naked eye. Observations best supine position. as with telescope, should choose wide-angle, low-magnification binoculars appropriate.
4, night observation, the observer should pay attention to warm cold but also to pay attention to personal safety: It should also keep a good attitude.
hope This year's Leonid meteor shower will not live up to expectations. so amateur astronomers have been able to witness the highest honor in the cold winter in Seattle. because the next time there may happen after 20 years.
background: Leonid meteor shower on bit by bit
Leonid meteor shower can be said that the general public in the most famous meteor shower, and only when it is caused by the outbreak of a veritable meteor shower parent comet is the Temple - Tuttle (55p/Tempel-Tuttle) comet, its return period is about 33 years.
comet along the elliptical orbit around the Sun once every 33 years, run to the sun the comet (the perihelion), due to strong solar radiation, temperature increases, the nucleus activity strengthened, spray a small solid particles larger, spread along the comet orbit the formation of dust. Earth to the vicinity of the dust, meteoroids by the earth to attract, in the atmosphere intense triboluminescence, the formation of a meteor shower. the same dust of meteors is generally parallel to each other into the atmosphere, the perspective of principle, look like from the same point given. This is the meteor shower's radiant point. simple that all meteor trajectory extension cords have been the reverse of this. meteor shower's radiant point is to where it is named after the constellation.
comet Tempel-Tuttle in 1466 mm and 1533 return to the projectile out of the two dust group, the Leonid meteor shower this year, the main source. Beijing at 16:00 on November 17 to 8 am the next day, is a major meteor shower activity period, according to the zenith hourly flow forecast will remain at 20 or more. from 18 of them 5 to 6 pm, from the 1533 Earth mass of material thrown through the center of the hourly rate of up to 100 days of flow over the top.
zenith hourly flow (ZHR): Professional explained that more than 200 km away from the big cities), a meteor shower radiant is located directly overhead when the number of meteors seen per hour. If the conditions of observation somewhat less (for example, has some light pollution, air pollution, not enough open near the horizon, etc.), or radiant point is not the head, to see the number of meteors will be significantly reduced. Therefore, the zenith hour traffic forecasts and the actual value of the number of meteors observed there is a certain gap.
meteor shower is really the same scene as you rain ? never seen a meteor shower many people who have doubts. In fact, astronomical observations over the ZHR in 1000 is called a meteor storm, the one-hour 1000, an average of one every 4 seconds to appear, which reality can not be considered good attitude to be observed.
