Today at 23:00 - Tomorrow at 5:30, Meteor Rain, which is also the clearest observation, this year will be even more spectacular because the moon appears before her, and a light moonlight will not interfere with sight.
Tears of St. Lawrence will be the largest between Wednesday and Saturday, and amateur astronomers on Thursday will see up to 90 meteors per hour.
- The maximum number Perseids will be seen in the night 12th and 13 August. Here we can see 60, even 90 per hour. However, it is not precisely determine at what time and exactly what day will be the maximum - says Ivan Romštajn from Zagreb Observatory, and recommends that the interested user as far away from town, take sleeping bags and lawn away from the light observed this phenomenon.
- The best of them was seen just before sunrise at the lowest possible dark sky because the light can not see smaller meteors glow, and therefore it will be moonlight will be possible to see many meteors - Romštajn explains.
Perseids are actually the remains of ancient comets whose orbit annually intercepts with the Earth. The remains of a large comet impact rate in the Earth's atmosphere, and thereby the path of meteors appear bright strips.
- The remains of a comet, or grains of sand and dust, is put aside as the Earth moves, and it is 12th and 13 best watch them because they were closest to Earth then.
