準備好欣賞一場天體秀了嗎!
The annual Lyrid meteor shower is back, peaking this week on the night of April 21 into the early morning of April 22.
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。
These fast, bright streaks are debris from Comet C/1861 G1 (Thatcher).
這些快速、明亮的光跡源自彗星C/1861 G1 (Thatcher)的碎屑。
Observers can expect 10–20 meteors per hour, appearing to radiate from the constellation Lyra near the bright star Vega.
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。
No telescopes are needed; your naked eye is best.
無需望遠鏡;用肉眼觀賞效果最佳。
Allow 20–30 minutes for your eyes to adjust to the darkness.
請預留20到30分鐘,讓眼睛適應黑暗。
Lie on your back, look slightly away from Lyra, and wait for the show to begin between midnight and dawn.
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。
You might even spot a brilliant fireball leaving a lingering trail in the sky.
你甚至可能會驚見一顆明亮的火球在天空中留下延續的軌跡。
Bundle up, be patient, and enjoy this ancient cosmic display.
