    流星雨

    聽新聞說8.13淩晨會有英仙座流星雨; 
    但MS我對這些不怎麽感興趣=.=!;
    英仙座由于希腊神话中的英雄波修士而得名,在星空图上,波修士手持女蛇妖美杜莎的人头,傲立于天空的东北方。英仙座流星雨可说是最有名的流星雨之一,因为它不但数量多,而且几乎从来没有在夏季星空中缺席过,每年固定时间稳定出现,是最活跃、最常被观测到的流星雨,也是对非专业流星观测者来说最好的流星雨,为全年三大周期性流星雨之首。
       
    英仙座流星雨最早的历史记录出现在公元 36 年的
    中国史籍中,记录了超过一百颗流星日本与韩国也分别在八至十一世纪有详细的记载,但十二至十九世纪则只有零星记录。1911年更降到只有四颗,1912 年也只有 12 颗。正当人们怀疑英仙座流星雨是否已经「寿终正寝」时,接下来的几年它却又恢复正常,并在 1920   年意外地发生大爆发,达到每小时两百颗以上。

    虽然这些流星体都非常小,但是由于其速度惊人,每秒可达60公里,所以对于宇宙飞船或卫星仍有潜在的危险性。1993 年欧洲一架
    宇宙飞船失控相信就是英仙座流星体惹的祸。但是流星雨对地面上的人或物则不具危险,因为在 100~160 公里的高空中,这些流星体便已燃烧殆尽。

    英仙座流星雨的母彗星是斯威夫特-塔特尔彗星,
    流星雨发生在每年7月17日至8月24日前后,极大一般在8月12~13日左右,往往有几个高峰出现,各高峰的流量从每小时100到160不等。英仙座流星的亮度中等,速度稍偏快,经常会有短时间的余迹。

    斯威夫特-塔特尔彗星1992年回归,英仙座流星雨在1991年和1992年曾爆发过,达到每小时400颗。之后每年流量递减。它发生的时间在夏天,往往难得有好的天气,大家可要把握机会。
