The United States and Central America will be the most visible locations. There, the maximum expectation is that even 100 thousand meteors be seen. According to experts, This is the first time in nearly 200 years that a phenomenon of this magnitude has appeared on Earth. The last storm of this level occurred in 1833.
Although meteor showers will appear across the country and with the naked eye, some areas will be distinct. Marcelo Dominguez, a member of the Brazilian Meteorological Network (Pramón), explains that, As long as the weather is cooperative and the sky is not overcast, the best area to observe this phenomenon will be the north of the country..
“Roraima, Acre and western Amazonas will be more visible than in the northeast and south,” he explains.
In Brazil, they are expected to be seen among 9 thousand And the 57 thousand meteors; According to Bramon’s forecast, the country will be divided into four zones of vision, cutting off the zone in diagonals:
- First track (about 57,000 meteorites): Acre, Roraima and Western and Central Amazonas.
- Second path (about 42,000 meteorites): Rondônia, eastern Amazonas, Amapá, western Mato Grosso and a large part of Barra;
- Third Path (about 25,000 meteorites): Mato Grosso East, Mato Grosso do Sul, Goiás, Federal District, Tocantins, Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, West Bahia, Pernambuco, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Parana;
- Fourth Path (about 9,000 meteorites): Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Alagoas, Sergipe, Espírito Santo, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, most of Pernambuco, Bahia, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo and Parana.
Marcelo says that the difference in vision does not contradict the beauty of the phenomenon. “If he meets expectations, he will go down in history,” he says.
meteor showers”Tau HerculediIt will be divided into ‘two windows’, according to Marcelo Dominguez. The first should occur around 00:11, in BrasilFrom Tuesday, it is supposed to continue 15 minutes.
The phenomenon’s second window – the most intense according to the expert – occurs around 2:05 a.m. Duration can vary between 20 and 30 minutes.
Marcelo explains that expectations may differ, delay or reinforce the phenomenon. So the recommendation is that the observation begin at 11 p.m. on Monday (30) and continue until 3 a.m. on Tuesday.
The expert ensures that storm monitoring is democratic. Professional tools are not needed to consider this phenomenon visible to the naked eye..
The ideal is to watch the meteor shower in a place with low light, away from the brightest city lights. It is also necessary to give preference to more open environments, where there is a good view of the sky.
“It’s better in the dark, and you don’t have to look at a particular point in the sky. Although the rain is heading north, it will be possible to see all of the sky,” says the specialist.
