Meteor Shower

Yosh....

sape nak tgk meteor shower????
Aku nak tgk....sbb tu aku buh nama kat FB - Lyrids....Lyrids ni bermakna meteor shower pada bulan april...
Tp skang dh nak masuk bulan 10...so aku pon google la meteor pe plak yg nk trun...
Aku jumpa 2 info, dijangka akan ader hujan meteor bulan October ni iaitu Draconids & Orionids.

Punya la giat nk tgk aku pon bertanya kpd pihak berkenaan kat Planetarium Malaysia (dorg pon dok tangkap gambo2 meteoroids ni...)

So Jawapan nya seperti dibawah:

Dear Wahida,

The basic rule of thumb for watching meteor showers is to have clear
view of the sky, unobstructed by any structures. And clear dark skies, a
distance away from light sources like street lights and also the moon.

For Draconids this year, it is best viewed on the 8th October night. But
the moon is present in the night sky nearing its full moon phase. Hence,
there might be a little lower chances of catching these elusive streaks
of lights. However, don't let this deter you in any way. Try observing
and I am sure you will catch a few through the night.

As for Orionids on 22 of October, the moon will only rise around 230AM
giving you a longer window for observation. Location to look is east as
Orion rises over the horizon. But the meteors will streak all over the
skies and not only concentrate on Orion constellation. Same goes for
Draconids.

Hope these few tips will help you get the best chance in viewing the
meteor showers.
