Every year, several astronomical demonstrations can be observed from the lunar eclipses in the night sky to the Cading stars. And it won’t be different in the coming months. Between April and May, astronomy enthusiasts will also be able to enjoy a special phenomenon: two meteor rain.

In the coming days, observers from some parts of the world will see the rain of meteorites. To presentIt is called reference to the constellation of the lira. It will be the turn of rain in May ETA AquarideIt may be caused by the constellation of the aquarium.

“Meteor Yağmur is a temporary increase in the meteor observation rate caused by entering various meteoroids into the black atmosphere (about the same point in the sky and at the same point of the year, traveling in parallel orbits and seems to have a common origin”.

Meteor rains in April and May:

• Liids: Between 21-22 April, those in the northern hemisphere can observe the summit of LydosRain of meteoriters promising a visual show;
• Aquaries: Already between 5-6 May, the tropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere will be your turn to follow the summit of Aquarid ETAs.Rain with another meteorites to illuminate the sky.

Both events do not require the use of equipment such as telescopes or binoculars. So, you can observe them with the naked eye; At night, find a small number of clouds or a place with no clouds and low artificial lighting.

On the other hand, Aquarid ETAs are better observed in the southern hemisphere that prefers what is in Brazil.

Teaching is created by aquarid ETA, Cometa Halley, although it is caused by a comet with 1861 G1 (Thatcher) and usually between 10 to 18 meteor per hour, and can record 60 meteor per hour – Halley is the famous space rock that passed to the Earth in 1986.

Britanna Encyclopedia, “Most of the meteor rains are known or accepted by active or descended comets, they are accepted, they represent the collision of these comets with their orbits and wreckage chains (usually from sand grains).”

While observing the meteor rains in the night sky, very few know that these pieces come from the old comets that pass our way. Do you want to know more? Understand which comet stars are made. Until next time!
