China News Agency, Nanjing, October 1st (Reporter Yang Yanci) A reporter from China News Agency learned from the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences on October 1st that October Tianyu blockbusters will be "released" together: Mercury West Long Distance, Orion Meteor Shower, Partial Solar Eclipse, etc. will appear one after another.
In addition, this month's "Star Road Sign" Pegasus Quadrangle and dazzling galaxy will bring more fun to the holiday night tour.
On the 9th, Mercury will make its debut at the great western distance.
In 2022, there will be 3 Mercury west long distances, and this time is the one with the best observation conditions.
About an hour and a half before sunrise, Mercury will slowly rise due east.
Using binoculars before sunrise is an easy way to get a glimpse of Mercury.
Around 10 days ago, the No. 2 asteroid Pallas came to the famous "side" of Sirius, and the two staged an "intimate moment".
According to experts, the brightness of Sirius is 10,000 times that of Pallas, and the "secret meeting" of these two different types of celestial bodies is very worth observing.
On the 21st, the Orionid meteor shower, whose parent body is Halley's Comet, ushered in a great.
Generally speaking, the active period of the Orionid meteor shower is from late September to late November each year, and the maximum date is from October 21 to 22.
As night falls, the gifts of Halley's Comet will "sprinkle" on Earth one after another.
As the night gets darker, the Orionid meteor shower will be "more exciting at night".
Although the zenith flow rate (ZHR) per hour is only about 20, the observation conditions of this meteor shower are not bad, and meteor shower enthusiasts can look forward to it.
In addition, there are many "mini" meteor showers shining in the sky in October.
For example, the Leopard meteor shower on the 6th, the Dracoids meteor shower on the 9th, the Taurus meteor shower on the 10th, the Aurigae delta meteor shower on the 11th, and the Leonid meteor shower on the 24th will appear in succession, continuing to write the romance of the stars.
On the 25th, the most worthy of waiting for this month's astronomical blockbuster - partial solar eclipse finale.
This partial solar eclipse can be seen in Europe, northeastern Africa, and western Asia, with a maximum eclipse score of 0.862.
In China, the more westward the geographical location is, the longer the partial solar eclipse will be; the more northerly, the greater the eclipse will be.
In Xinjiang, Tibet and other places, the phenomenon of falling with food can be seen.
