回雷爷的话。。。澳洲能看到
The north-eastern horizon in Australia at 4:00 am AEDST on November 18, the Leonid radiant is marked with a cross.
The best time to observe in Australia is the morning of the 18th between 3 and 4 am (daylight saving time, 2-3 am non-daylight saving time). When you get up, allow at least 5 minutes for your eyes to adjust, and be patient, it may be several minutes before you are rewarded with you first meteor, then a couple will come along in quick succession. Choose a viewing spot where you can see a large swathe of sky without trees or buildings getting in the way, or with streetlights getting in your eyes. The darker the spot the better (but do be sensible, don't choose a spot in an unsalubrious park for example). A lawn chair or something similar will make your observing confortable (or a picnic rug spread on the ground and a nice pillow), and having a thermous of hot coffe, tea or choclate to swig while watching will increase your comfort. (Here's some hints on dark adaption of your eyes so you can see meteors better). |
