Jeddah – Amr Shwail Jeddah – Gulf 365

The president of the Jeddah Astronomical Society, Majid Abuzahira, said the Barchawia meteor will reach the peak of autumn with the skies of Saudi Arabia and the Arab region from midnight on Monday, 11 Dhu al-Hijjah (August 12, 2019), the second day of Eid al-Adha.

The meteor shower is one of the best annual meteorite rains: on average, it produces up to 100 km / h. It is famous for the production of several bright meteors, but we do not know how much we will observe this year.

In general, most annual meteorite rains reach their highest level as the Earth traverses the meteoric remnants of comets and asteroids and, with these small gravels striking at high speed the highest atmosphere around the Earth, they burn at an altitude of about 70 to 100 kilometers and come in the form of meteorites. If the Earth crosses a dense meteorite, a large number of meteors will be observed, but it is unclear if this will happen this year.

The visible light of meteorites takes on different colors depending on the chemical composition of the meteorite and its speed in the atmosphere. Yellow orange means sodium, yellow (iron), blue, green (magnesium), violet (calcium) and red (nitrogen and atmospheric oxygen).

If a meteorite reaches the surface of the Earth, it is called meteorite, but very few meteorites become meteorites due to the nature of the debris caused by comets, so most meteorites come from outside. asteroids.

The parasites are active from August 17th to 24th. This year 2019, the Moon will be in the growth phase of Al Ahdab several days before it occurs during the full moon phase, which means it will erase most light meteors this year, but in total, meteorites are very bright meteorites. So, the offer will probably stay good.

For better observation, midnight surveillance should monitor the horizon is a completely dark place, away from the lights of the cities and not the house. The meteors will be visible in front of the Parshawh star group, from where they are called briquettes, but the meteors can appear anywhere in the dome. The sky

There is no direct relationship between the meteors and the stars of Prachauch, it is simply a regularity in the sky from our point of view on the Earth.

The stars of Barshaus are a few light-years away from us, as meteors burn in the atmosphere of our planet.If one of the meteors reaches the surface of the Earth, a meteorite will be called, but very few meteors become meteorites because of the nature of the debris caused by comets. Their source is the asteroids.

On the other hand, the observer must give himself at least an hour to see one of the meteors after arriving at the monitoring site. The human eye needs about 20 minutes to adapt in the dark and it is not necessary to use special equipment to see the meteors.
