Ngaba abantwana bakho bayathandwa yiinkwenkwezi neeplanethi? Ukubamba i-summer meteor shower isingqungquthela esilungeleyo sokuqhaqha. Ngokungafani neziganeko ezininzi zeenkwenkwezi, isantya se-meteor singabonwa ngeso lesiso, ngoko awuyidingi i-telescope. Konke okukufunayo izihlalo ezimbalwa zelinen okanye ingubo kunye nesibhakabhaka esibumnyama. Yisizathu esipheleleyo sokuhamba kwenkampu ehlobo.
Ngomnyaka oqhelekileyo, i-Perseids inokuphakamisa kwiinkwenkwezi zokudubula ezingama-50 ukuya kwi-100 ngeyure.
Perseid Meteor Shower
Ukubonakaliswa kokukhanya okukhulu kwehlobo kuhlobo lwePeridid Meteor Shower, elibhekiselwe phambili kwiNyakatho yeNtlabathi kunye nasezantsi ukuya kwezantsi. Oko kuthetha ukuba ibonakala ukusuka elwandle ukuya ekukhanyeni kolwandle e-United States kunye neAlaska neHawaii. Ungakujonga kwakhona kwiCanada, eMexico, e-Asia naseYurophu.
Ngokomxholo wesiGrike, isiganeko sonyaka si khumbuza ixesha xa uothixo uZeus watyelela uDanae ofayo kwisitya segolide.
Unyana wabo, uPerseus, wayeyiqhawe eliyintetho yamaGrike eyayiyinqumle iMedusa kwaye yagcinwa iAndromeda esuka kwi-monster yaseLwandle i-Cetus. Ngelixa i-meteors ibonakala naphi na esibhakabhakeni sasebusuku, ibonakala iphuma kummandla ophakathi kweenkwenkwezi zasePerseus.
Izazi ze-Astronomist zithetha indaba eyahlukileyo. I-Comet Swift-Tuttle idlula kwihlabathi lethu yonke iminyaka engama-133, eshiya umzila ongcolileyo emva kwenkunkuma. Ngehlobo nganye phakathi kwe-Julayi kunye neye-Agasti kamva, uMhlaba uwela umzila we-Comet Swift-Tuttle.
Umjikelezo we-comet ugcwele i-ribble ephazamisa kwi-atmospheric atmosphere ngaphezulu kwamawaka angama-100 000 ngeyure, ukukhanyisa isibhakabhaka sasebusuku kunye nabaxhasi. Ngobusuku obumnyama, obungenanga inyanga, amaPerseids angakwazi ukuhambisa ama-meteors angama-100 kwiyure.
Ukuphi na ukujonga phi i-Perseids
Xa: Idiza iyagijima rhoqo ngonyaka ukususela ngoJulayi 17 ukuya ku-Agasti 24 kodwa inqanaba elilindelwe kulindeleke ukuba lenzeke kusasa ekuseni ka-Agasti 12-13, 2017.
Kuphi: Ukujonga okulungileyo, kuya kufuneka uphume kwiidolophu kunye namadlelo kunye nakwilizwe elibanzi elivulekileyo. Ngenxa yokunyuka kwethu kwamanqaku okuhla kwidolophu kunye neendawo zasemadolobheni, abantu abambalwa nabancinci banako ukufumana isibhakabhaka esibhakabhaka esibhakabhaka sasebusuku.
Iindawo eziphambili zeenkwenkwezi ziindawo eziMnyama-Sky ezikhethwe yi-International Dark-Sky Association, kubandakanywa nabo baseUnited States. Lawa amapaki kunye namazwe karhulumente anesimo esibhakabhaka esibhakabhaka esibhakabhakeni ngenxa yokuba ukungcoliseka kokukhanya kungabikho kwaye ubumnyama bukhuselwe njengendalo ebalulekileyo yendalo.

Njani: Ukuba ungeyidonsa yonke indawo, faka i-alamu yakho ivuke malunga nobusuku bobusuku. Vumela malunga nemizuzu engama-20 ukuba amehlo akho ahlalutye esibhakabhakeni somnyama ebusuku, kwaye uzinike ubuncinane iyure yokujonga ixesha. Iimvula zamanzi zivame ukuvelisa iinkwenkwezi zokudubula ezinkqutheni kunye neengqungquthela, kunokuba kubekho umlambo oqhubekayo. Ukuvumela ukulula kwexesha kufuneka kuqinisekiswe ukuba uza kubona ezininzi zeemetors.
