| Meteor Shower: Bootides |
The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical
Services Administration said that the another meteor shower will be visible in
the country from July 28 to 31.
PAGASA informed us that the estimated peak date will be
before midnight and onward on July 29.
According to PAGASA administrator Nathaniel Servando the
showers are part of a complex of radiants in Aquarius, Capricornus and Piscis
Austrinus, all of which combine with sporadic and early Perseid activity to
provide a nice display of meteors.
“The stream normally produces about five to 10 meteors per
hour, with overall activity of about 15 meteors per hour under good sky
conditions,” he said.
