“If this year the Motol Rain Station launches, we have a suggestion Lyrids rainIt takes place between April 14 and 30 this year. Its peak, that is, the period of observing more meteorites, occurs from 21 to April 22, and it is possible to observe 18 meteorites per hour, “said the Observatory on its official page.
These meteorites are territorial fragments, which penetrate into the environment of the earth, and can be completely or partially burned due to an inflatable friction and the contact of the oxygen molecules. This process forms a bright, bright sidewalk in the sky, often with sparks – a phenomenon called “Fanry Stars”.

For the ideal scene, it is recommended to look for dark space, away from the unclean horizon and cities.
The website of the Exos Scientific Project referring to “a garden, beach or rural area.” Preventing the use of cell phones and light screens can also help to convert the eyes to the dark, facilitating the observation.
However Lua Be in the declining phase and 40%of its lighting surface, which makes the visibility of the meteor slightly, is still possible to appreciate this phenomenon, according to Exos.
UNESP recommends looking at the northeast direction and identifying the Vega star, described as “bright in the sky”. To make it easier, using guidance zone Southern Cruise In reference: the company explains “Be behind him.”
