2019 meteor showers

While under clear, dark skies the Perseids produce around 80 meteors per hour, the bright moonlit sky will reduce the number considerably, down to maybe 10-20 meteors per hour. Showers with radiants too near the Sun for observing by the various optical methods can be detected by forward-scatter radio or back-scatter radar observations – although attempts with optical observations can be useful too. Interestingly, the conditions are in some ways similar to 2012: a strong outburst was observed the year before, and then the Draconids returned with an intense outburst of very faint meteors. During the final week of July a number of meteor showers are active, known as the Aquarid-Capricornid complex.

The viewing conditions are excellent: peak timing favours Europe and the thin waning crescent Moon rises just before dawn and is not a factor. A moderately strong meteor shower, the Orionids typically produce about 20 meteors per hour under dark skies. Brilliant Perseid fireball, August 12, 2010.

Strong rip currents spread towards the East Coast, La Nina watch: Exceptional cooling continues in the equatorial Pacific. 5 0 obj Some comets are no longer active and are now called asteroids. There may be a strong enhancement of activity in the predawn hours of August 13, centered around 2h UT, possibly with meteors brighter than average. Typically the shower produces about 10 meteors per hour, however, this year there might be an enhancement in rates as the Earth is set to encounter a denser filament of dust particles. Anywhere. Share it with us! Named meteor showers recur at approximately the same dates each year. The new Moon on January 6th creates optimum viewing conditions for the expected, Seen the small activity mainly found in radio data close to the positions expected to Mikiya Sato’s previous calculations in 2016 and 2017, observers are advised to monitor the.
