三大流星雨将照亮七月底夜空

摘要

七月底将有三大流星雨——南鱼座α流星雨、南三角座δ流星雨和英仙座流星雨——可见,因月光较弱,观测条件理想。天文学家建议在午夜后前往光污染少的地方观测,以获得最佳体验。

天文爱好者将在七月底有机会观测到三大流星雨,分别是南鱼座α流星雨、南三角座δ流星雨和英仙座流星雨,它们将在夜空中同时活跃。美国流星学会(AMS)报告称,这些流星雨时间重叠,增加了观测流星的机会,尤其是月亮将在流星高峰期前落下,减少了月光干扰。

南鱼座α流星雨始于7月7日,持续至8月13日,预计将在7月30日达到高峰。根据AMS的资料,这个小型流星雨以产生缓慢移动的火球著称,峰值时每小时可见三到五颗明亮流星。最佳观测时间是在午夜之后,当辐射点位于南方天空最高处时。

南三角座δ流星雨活跃期为7月19日至8月13日,也将在7月30日达到最大活动。AMS指出,这些流星速度较快,可在宝瓶座西南部附近观测到,北半球每小时流星数量为五到十颗,南半球则可达二十颗。最佳观测时间为当地时间凌晨3点左右。

英仙座流星雨被天文学家视为年度最显著的流星雨之一,始于7月17日,持续至8月23日,预计在8月12日达到高峰。美国航天局(NASA)描述英仙座流星雨产生明亮且色彩丰富的火球,源自彗星斯威夫特-塔特尔留下的碎片。英仙座流星雨最佳观测时间为北半球的黎明前时段,观测方向朝向英仙座星座。

NASA建议在远离人工光源的区域观测,并让眼睛适应黑暗约30分钟,以获得最佳的流星观测体验。
