This time about the Gemini meteor shower.
The moon is also a new moon from December 13th to 14th, the maximum day of this year's Gemini meteor shower.
It's a perfect condition to see a meteor.
The caretaker also left Nairobi and came to the dark seaside of the sky, so he observed the meteor.
However, unfortunately, as a measure to prevent the spread of colds that have been causing a sensation in the world recently, a ban on going out has been issued in this country after 21:00.
Therefore, you can go out to the beach and observe shooting stars until 21:00.
So, the observation from the villa where the family is staying.
A small gap that can be seen between the roofs.
I laid a mat there and lay down and observed the shooting stars with the whole family.
Even so, there are many clouds, and the clouds always move over the sky.
It rarely cleared up, and most of the time, half of the visible sky was covered with clouds.
Still, I could see many shooting stars through the gaps in the clouds.
There were many clouds during the observation. The first meteor, 22:34.
In the photo above, I try to capture the sky as large as possible, so I stretched the tripod all the way and the camera position is less than 2 meters. The caretaker family laying down and observing, the visible range is much smaller than this.
In addition, there were many clouds, so I could see more shooting stars than usual, but it seems that the children could not enjoy observing the shooting stars very much.
The photo above is the shooting star that was first taken after shooting.
It flows up and down in the upper right of the photo, a little upper right of Subaru.
It's dark and hard to understand.
It is probably a shooting star derived from the Gemini meteor shower, whose radiant point is Gemini at the bottom of the photo.
Therefore, it flows from the bottom to the top.
It's good to see the shooting stars at dawn.
Chile, which is the source of shooting stars floating in outer space, hits the earth in front of the direction of travel of the earth.
This is because the sky at dawn corresponds to the direction of travel of the earth.
So, during the time when the children were awake, shooting stars were flowing more than usual, but I could not see so many in the narrow sky and the sky with many clouds.
I was shooting, and the number of meteors increased after 23:00.
However, the caretaker himself withdrew at 1 o'clock after midnight due to the large number of clouds, the narrow sky that can be seen, and the large number of mosquitoes.
The best time to see the meteor is yet to come.
When I looked at the photo later, there were more meteors in the photo than I actually saw.
There may be a narrow sky that can be seen lying down.
Looking at the pictures, I wish I had been a little more sticky! When.
It must have been sunny.
I tried to combine all the meteors actually shown in the photo into one photo.
That is the photo below.
A composite image of all meteors in the photo
One photo of all the meteors in the photo based on 2425 (meaning that it flowed at 24:25, 14th 0:25), which is one of the few photos without clouds, the only one with shooting stars. Synthesized into.
All of the meteors in the picture were put into one sheet, and the distortion was corrected and pasted in the precise place based on the positional relationship of the stars as much as possible.
Each meteor was given a serial number for the time it was seen.
Gemini, the radiant point, is visible upside down in the center left of the screen.
I could see Gemini in a narrow field of view, so I think it was a little photo.
The photo above shows two shooting stars that are not derived from the Geminids meteor shower.
2325 and 2333.
Compared to other meteors, the radiant points are so different that it is obvious.
Just 2425 is close to the radiant point, and the meteor appears almost as a dot.
Except for the above two meteors, it can be seen that they are flowing from the position of 2425.
As I noticed by synthesizing the above picture, the color of the meteor.
2325 is orangeish and 2333 is greenish.
The orange color comes from sodium. The green color comes from oxygen and magnesium.
Also, it seems that the color changes depending on the size and altitude of light emission.
The colored meteors are beautiful to see.
In comparison, all meteors from the Geminids meteor shower were pure white.
Meteors that just cross the sky quickly without leaving any traces.
Is it because of your mind while watching? There were quite a few things that I thought.
All the meteors derived from the Geminids meteor shower looked like dull meteors.
In terms of lenses, I think it's an image of a sharp meteor with no chromatic aberration.
The color of the meteor that the caretaker himself didn't really care about.
By the way, the mother celestial body that scattered Chile, which is the source of the Gemini meteor shower, is said to be the asteroid Phaeton.
As a meteor source for entertainment, it seems that the quality is not very good.
Are all the colors of meteors derived from asteroids like this?
Even if it is the same asteroid, its components may be various.
The story goes awry, but when it comes to asteroids, the space probe Hayabusa.
It's an unimaginably high level of science and technology and engineering that travels in space for years, travels far away to asteroids, and brings back its constituents.
I'm really afraid.
All the meteors were proud of the strength of Japan and the fact that they were Japanese.
The story went awry,
In comparison, the color of the meteor shower in the Perseids meteor shower, which is a summer tradition, shines quite colorfully and brightly, leaving marks, making it more entertaining to see.
There are many meteors that are so powerful that you can hear the sound of the meteors flowing. (Maybe the sound derived from electromagnetic waves really reaches the brain.)
The parent body of this Perseids meteor shower is Comet Swift-Tuttle.
Comet Swift-Tuttle, a special meteor element that scatters fine Chile.
The Perseids meteor shower in 2021, the age of 4, the moon will set around 21:00, and the conditions look good.
It's a long way off, but I'm looking forward to observing the Perseids meteor shower.
