It is predicted that the "Perseus meteor shower" known as one of the three major meteor showers will appear the most on the night of the 12th, and by the early morning of the 12th, it will fall on the moon surface and emit a strong light The video was also taken.
The Perseid meteor shower, known as one of the three major meteor showers, is observed at this time of year each year, and the number of shooting stars has gradually increased since last week.
In the video of the night sky taken by curator Daichi Fujii of the Hiratsuka City Museum in Kanagawa Prefecture last week, several bright shooting stars were confirmed.
Furthermore, we succeeded in shooting a rare light-emitting phenomenon, which is believed to have emitted a strong light when a part of the meteor shower fell and collided with the moon before 1 am on the 12th.
In the image, a point-like light shining for a moment on the surface of the moon is recorded.
According to the National Astronomical Observatory, because the moon has almost no atmosphere, even small fragments may hit the moon's surface without forming a shooting star, and emit light due to the impact, but it is rarely observed from the earth and is photographed. Is unusual.
Expected to appear most frequently around 10 pm
The "Perseus meteor shower" of Koshino is predicted to appear most frequently around 10:00 pm on the 12th, and the condition is not so good because the moon is bright, but if it is sunny, up to 30 per hour It means that you can observe it.
National Astronomical Observatory said, "If you tune your eyes for about 15 minutes in a place with little city lights, it will be easier to observe."
