Gemini meteor shower will occur tonight, traffic will reach maximum 19 hours

Near the end of the year, Gemini meteor shower Ruqierzhi. Yesterday, the reporter learned from the Beijing Planetarium, Gemini meteor shower will reach maximum 19 hours tonight, amounted to 120 meteors per hour for the Dell Inspiron 700m Battery to watch.

Northern Hemisphere annual Geminid meteor shower is one of the three major meteor shower, white color, bright meteors and meteoroids more slowly, conducive to visual viewing and photographing. It is located in the radiant sky Gemini almost dawn to dusk rising from the east through the night are likely to observe meteors.

"Gemini meteor shower is the astrological year, one of the most anticipated." Kou Beijing Planetarium astronomer article, the "peak of its long, from 19:00 pm to dawn the next day there will be a meteor. But Qianban Ye bright moonlight, of observations effect until 1 am the moon after the fall, observed better. "away from the city experts suggest the choice of a light, broad vision of the local stargazers, and pay attention to warm cold.

In addition, Sky astrological good show again and again by the end of December, the total eclipse of concern will debut in the December 21, "seven sisters star cluster," and Bear Constellation meteor shower is expected to be staged from 22 or so turns.

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 27 - Meteor shower is usually brought about by the comet, but the gorgeous debut in December each year Gemini meteor shower is a rare Dell Inspiron 9200 Battery, which originated from an asteroid. American scientists recently proposed the asteroid's surface by the sun baked very crisp, it can throw physical causes the formation of the meteor shower.

Comet is ice and snow, dust, gravel and frozen gases and other components of the "dirty snowball." They are close to the sun, the surface of the snow and ice from solar radiation and evaporation, throwing dust and gravel, some enter the atmosphere and the atmospheric friction burn, the formation of a meteor shower. For example, the famous Leonid meteor shower from the Temple - Tuttle comet.

Unusually, Gemini meteor shower from one called "3200 Phaethon," the asteroid. This is a celestial body about 5 km in diameter, the rock composition, surface and not easy to ice and snow in the sun gasification. How to throw a stone material to form celestial meteor shower? This problem exists in many disputes.

According to "New Scientist" magazine website reported that the University of California, Los Angeles, NASA scientists used a detector, in June 2009 after a recent asteroid observations point to it. The brightness of the asteroid was a sudden increase in light scattering can not be explained by the stars.

Analysis of data that scientists detected in close to the sun, the asteroid towards the side of the sun is heated to a maximum of about 780 degrees Celsius, enough to make expansion cracks of rocks, some water-bearing mineral dehydration, collapse, and thus emit Dell Inspiron 9300 Battery. The dust reflects sunlight so that it is the asteroid suddenly brighter. When the Earth through the dust left by the asteroid belt, some dust will break the Earth's atmosphere, so there a meteor shower.
