Tips to see the meter rain
- If you want to see a shooting star, experts say you should find a dark place – as much as possible from street lights and bright city lights. Try going to a park or open field with a good view of the sky.
- You do not need any special equipment, such as binoculars or binoculars. Astronomers say you only need a set of your eyes, but you should give them 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness before looking for meters to shoot in the sky.
- If you have a blanket or a sitting lawn chair, you can sleep and look directly at the night sky. Experts say that it is better to look at the whole sky, not just the point of the weather shower.
- If the moon is giving a lot of light, either wait for the moon to sink down into the sky or look as far away from the moonlight as possible.
- Experts say that the best time to look for rain is usually between midnight and early morning. This is when the meter rain is at its peak, producing the highest number of shooting stars per hour.
