Зорепад Персеїди: фото та відео найяскравішого метеоритного потоку року

Щороку у серпні земляни мають змогу спостерігати за одним із найяскравіших зорепадів – Персеїди. У ніч з 12 на 13 серпня відбувся пік зорепаду, у цей час метеоритний дощ був особливо видовищним.

Період активності зорепаду – приблизно з 23 липня до 22 серпня. При цьому найбільш активний, а відтак і найбільш видовищний, метеоритний потік 8 до 14 серпня. Пік припадає на ніч з 12 на 13 серпня.

Цікавий факт, Персеїди – одне із найдавніше зафіксованих космічних явищ. Найпершу згадку про Персеїди датують 36 роком нашої ери в китайському літописі. Також Персеїди часто згадували в японських і корейських літописах.

В Європі Персеїди називали "Сльозами святого Лаврентія", на честь фестивалю святого Лаврентія, який відбувається в Італії 10 серпня.

I used to make an annual trip with my best friends back home to watch the #perseidsmeteorshower and honestly one of the biggest things that’s bummed me out about Portland is the constant overcast. Nothing makes you feel smaller and more at peace than stargazing late into the night with good company. Mezcal doesn’t hurt. 😜

Arrived in Anza Borrego yesterday in time to scout for locations to shoot the Perseids meteor shower. The moon set at 2:30am and I went back to my second choice of spots which was a 1/4 mile up trail from the parking at Mountain Palm Camp. The Perseids peaks Mon/Tues but the moon will be setting even later. No bright streaking ones but I did see a few as seen here and 10 times more satellites than meteors. I set up a light back left and one right forward. Night and solitude helps me look up at the great universe when sunlight and everyday life keeps me looking forward and down. Helps keep balance in life especially in today's world.

Perseids Meteor Shower over Stonehenge - 11 August 2020⠀ ⠀ While it was supposed to be at its height last night, renowned photographer, Robert Harvey, described the year's most highly anticipated meteor shower as more of a 'drizzle', but the image he's captured here of two meteors streaking through the night above Stonehenge is stunning. The meteors show as green due to their high magnesium content.⠀ Did you manage to catch any? ⠀ Image (C) Robert Harvey, Natural World Photography⠀ ⠀ #stonehenge #justbackfrom #salisbury #wiltshire #visitsalisbury #visitwiltshire #makingmemoriestogether #uk #england #englishheritage #travelphotography #visitengland #worldheritagesite #history #historicplaces #stonecircle #bucketlist #daysoutwithkids #daytrips #goodtogo #astrophotography #nightphotography #perseidsmeteorshower #perseids⠀

Went in search of the Perseids shower last night! To say it was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen is an understatement! Meteors everywhere but only managed to get three on camera 💗

Don’t forget! If the skies can stay clear enough the next few nights... be sure to look toward the late night sky! And if you see some meteors, let us know! #OHwx #PerseidsMeteorShower #Perseids @SpectrumNews1OH https://t.co/jwscggBbi8 pic.twitter.com/zrVKRUgnsk

A few meteors overnight but not quite the show it could have been. Clouds moved in as the peak hours came. But did get this one. #PerseidsMeteorShower #meteor got this shot from Brown Mtn Overlook pic.twitter.com/BPVodaHPOd

Managed to catch a couple of the brighter #Perseids this morning at 03:09AM EDT & 03:34AM EDT. Also exposed a #firstlight image of the #AndromedaGalaxy (#M31) as well as its companion galaxy using my TOA-130 reducer with my #Canon #EOSRa. #PerseidsMeteorShower pic.twitter.com/IAYrZEnvON
