每年一度的天琴座流星雨又回來了,將在本週4月21日夜晚至4月22日凌晨達到巔峰。
The annual Lyrid meteor shower is back, peaking this week on the night of April 21 into the early morning of April 22.
這些快速、明亮的光跡源自彗星C/1861 G1 (Thatcher)的碎屑。
These fast, bright streaks are debris from Comet C/1861 G1 (Thatcher).
根據紀錄,這場流星雨早在公元前687年便有記載,是已知最古老的流星雨之一。
With records dating back to 687 BCE, this is one of the oldest known showers.
觀測者每小時約可看見10到20顆流星,它們看起來似乎是從織女星(Vega)附近的天琴座輻射出來。
Observers can expect 10–20 meteors per hour, appearing to radiate from the constellation Lyra near the bright star Vega.
為了獲得最佳體驗,請遠離城市燈光,前往黑暗處。
For the best experience, head away from city lights to a dark location.
請預留20到30分鐘,讓眼睛適應黑暗。
Allow 20–30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness.
仰臥在地,視線稍微避開天琴座,等待這場天文秀在午夜至黎明之間展開。
Lie on your back, look slightly away from Lyra, and wait for the show to begin between midnight and dawn.
盡管在北半球觀測最為顯著,但這是一場全球皆可共襄盛舉的天文盛宴。
While most prominent in the Northern Hemisphere, it is a global treat.
多穿點衣服,保持耐心,好好享受這場古老的宇宙展示。
Bundle up, be patient, and enjoy this ancient cosmic display.
