The meteors of the quartets reach their climax in the sky of Egypt and the Arab region from midnight today, Friday, January 3, and during the hours before sunrise on Saturday, January 4, in the phenomenon of watching with the naked eye without the need to use special monitoring devices.
The astronomical society in Jeddah revealed in a report that it is known that the annual meteor showers arise when the globe passes during its rotation around the sun through the dust remains scattered along the orbits of comets and asteroids, where it collides at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere and burns and appears to us as a strip of light.
By determining the speed and direction of these meteors, a path can be made for these dust residues through the solar system and determining their source. In the case of the meteors of the quadruples, their comet source 2003EH1 Discovered in the year 2003.
The quadruple meteors are activated annually from the first to the fifth of January, and this year the moon will be in the first square stage in conjunction with its climax, but it will be set shortly after midnight, leaving the sky dark to display the meteors.
In general, the quadruple meteors fall at a rate of up to 40 meteors per hour at its peak, but it is expected that this year will provide an exceptional offer of about 100 meteors per hour for residents in the eastern hemisphere.
And to observe meteors, it must be from a dark location after midnight, where the meteors will appear to rush outward in front of the group of howl stars, but it can appear from anywhere in the dome of the sky.
Before the end of 2019, astronomers were obsessed with astronomical phenomena on dates with an amazing scene in the dome of the sky, where he spotted the sky of Egypt and the Arab world, the moon of the first moon and the planet Venus decorate the western horizon of the sky dome in a phenomenon easily seen with the naked eye, which is an ideal opportunity to photograph in this Cold winter tonight.
And the moon moved away from the glow of sunset sunlight compared to the previous night, and it became high in the sky, and he will notice that the illuminated side of the moon’s surface is sunlit illuminated by dim light, that dim light is the sunlight reflected from the earth and fallen on the moon.
