KOMPAS.com - best meteor rain throughout 2010 will take place today, starting from December 13, 2010 dusk until dawn on 14 December next day. At least that was the result of observations of astronomers.
The best meteor shower of 2010 is the Geminids meteor shower. Like other meteor shower events, meteors will appear to shine light in the atmosphere as a result of the entry of dust particles into the upper atmosphere.
Interestingly, according to astronomers who published the discovery in 1983, the Geminids meteor shower was not caused by comet dust particles remaining, but the rest was no asteroid named 3200 Pantheon.
Asteroids orbit the sun Pantheon 3200, leaving the dust particles along the orbit. When the earth is evolving into the region, the dust enters Earth's atmosphere, burning, and produce stunning light sheen.
At its peak, there will be 60-120 meteors will be seen each hour. Meteor itself will move with speed to approximately 35 kilometers per second. Geminids meteor shower name is taken from the name of the constellation Gemini.
How to enjoy a meteor shower is this? Preparation of the earliest was wearing warm clothes, warmer than the commonly used because you will probably linger outdoors in the cold night.
Secondly, make yourself comfortable. Able to provide a chair or sofa eggs to lean on your pet. Let your eyes staring at the sky with a liberal, probably do not need binoculars to the eyes of more liberal views.
Meteors can appear in the vicinity of the constellation Gemini. In Indonesia, the constellation Gemini rises in the east around at 20.00 and sets in the west around 0600.
If you watched the early morning, meteors will be visible on the horizon the sky is low, whereas at night will appear at the top.
To be sure, you need to be patient and observant look forward to it. While waiting, probably praying that the petition be granted. Scientists say the best time watching this meteor shower is before dawn.
Pray it is not cloudy tonight hopefully so you can watch the most beautiful meteor shower of 2010 was at an early day.
