Double meteor shower to be visible in the UK – when you can spot it | UK | News

A rare astronomical event has been arranged to grace the British sky, because the British are told to avoid light pollution to detect the demonstration. Stargazers will be told the definitive date to detect the light in the coming days, the double meteor shower from the UK will appear. Two shower, Southern Delta Aquarius and Alfa Capricornid can be seen until August 12th, but on the morning of July 30, the summit will be at the same time.

On Wednesday morning, even though it is still dark, the British Stargazers can capture the “light flashes in the night sky .. In a quarter -full network, the moon means that light pollution is the lowest, but for the best view, experts recommend moving away from the bright city lights as much as possible.

According to Thaddeus Lacoursiere, the planetarium program coordinator at the St Paul in Minnesota, each shower is expected to produce up to dozen meteor once an hour.

“Look for light flashes in the night sky,” he said, both of them are “very nice meteor shower”.

Delta Aquariids is a wreckage from 96P/Machholz Cometrus, and Alpha Capricorus comes from 169p/clean -tailed star. Alfa Capricorns are produced by the meteorites moving slower, that is, their tails may remain in the sky a little longer.

A shooting star occurs because of the debris that encounters new resistance, which makes it very hot, which causes it to burn. The surrounding air will briefly shine and leave a visible firearm behind.

The best time to detect an astronomical event like Meteor shower is in the early hours when the moon is lower in the sky.

Rival light sources can affect visibility, so it is recommended to leave a city if you want to take a look.

Experts also recommend that you continue to look up, as if you do not control your phone, your eyes will adapt to better to stain the shooting stars.

After the double shower, Perseids, the next major meteor event, peaked in mid -August.
