同往年一樣 臨近英仙座流星雨極大期 都有一波極光期
8月4日前後就有大量極光觀測當中不乏溫華哥同安省嘅靚相
程度當然不及果次千年一遇嘅5月10日
小編抱病出發都睇到唔錯嘅畫面(見圖)
而今年極光有機會會喺流星雨期間持續
周末KP Index預測為5-6
另一方面 英仙座流星雨會於周日周一凌晨達至高峰
雲量尚算可以 10%上下 煙霧可能係主要問題
冇活動可以計劃吓行程啦
*更新:烏雲密佈☁️☁️
As in previous years, the peak of the Perseid meteor shower is once again coinciding with a wave of aurora activity. Around August 4th, there have been numerous aurora sightings, and many breathtaking photos have emerged from Vancouver and Ontario.
While the auroras might not reach the legendary levels of the May 10th event, the current displays were still impressive. Even when I was under the weather, I managed to capture stunning views (see pictures).
Looking ahead, there’s a good chance the aurora will continue to grace the skies during the meteor shower this weekend. The KP Index forecast is predicting a level of 5-6, which suggests strong auroral activity.
The Perseid meteor shower will reach its peak early Sunday morning. With cloud cover expected to be around 10%, the viewing conditions should be favorable. If you don't have any plans, it’s worth setting aside some time to enjoy this celestial double feature. The moon will be 25% full but moon set time are quite early (around 11p.m.). At peak you could see around 50-100 meteors with bare eyes, depending on your location and surroundings. Get prepared with warm clothing and deck chair.
**BEST TIMING**
AUG 11 11:00p.m. - AUG 12 04:00a.m.
+- 1 day is fine
**BEST LOCATIONS IN VANCOUVER**
Always the best: Porteau Cove / Pitt Lake
The most convenient: Spanish Banks Park, David Lam Park, Burnaby Mountain Park
Wreck Beach at UBC is a great option too.
