What is a meteor shower?

Before you learn more about meteor showers, you need to know about comets. Comets are a group of celestial objects made of ice, rock and dust. These objects are located at a very far distance from the earth and in the solar system. As these objects approach the Sun, comets begin to evaporate. During the movements and evaporation of comets, small masses are left behind, which are called meteorites. These meteorites enter the earth’s atmosphere at a very high speed and burn at a height of 70 to 120 meters above the earth’s surface. What we see in the sky is the trail left by burning meteors. We call this bright light a meteor.

But what is a meteor shower and how is it different from other meteor showers?

Every time a meteor is formed from the burning or evaporation of one of the cometary bodies. The origin of the meteor shower is the comet Swift Tuttle 109.109P/Swift-Tuttle) Is. The meteors or mass remnants of this comet pass the earth from late July to early September and we can see their burning traces in the form of meteors. But if you want the exact date of the meteor shower, you should watch the sky on August 21 or 22. If you look at the sky on a normal night, you might be able to see about 5 meteors in an hour, but during a meteor shower, the number of meteors can increase by tens of times due to a mass of objects entering the Earth. During the peak of rain, the number of Barsaushi meteors can reach 100 meteors per hour.

Types of meteor showers

There are different types of meteor showers. Although they all come from the evaporation and burning of comets, their density, number, strength, trail length, color, duration, smoke, and occurrence interval are different from each other. These features make us see some meteors better and some of them cannot be seen with naked eyes.

As mentioned before, every time a meteor comes from the burning of a certain type of comet. For example, the comet that produces the meteor shower is named Swift. But there is a simple reason why this meteor shower is called Bersavashi. The names of meteor showers are usually chosen based on the type of comet or the center of the shower. If we look at the Bersavash meteor shower from Earth, it looks like the meteors are moving out of the Bersavash constellation. For this reason, this shower is called Bersavoshi meteor shower.

Of course, this is more of an illusion than a reality. Just as if we look at a road from a distance, it seems that the parallel lines of the road eventually meet. The light lines of the Besavash meteor shower also converge in the Besavash constellation. For this reason, this meteor shower is called Bersavoshi. But why is this shower so famous and popular and where should we watch the meteor shower? Stay with us for more information.

The light that disappears!

If you have ever watched a meteor shower, you will surely know that the length of many of these meteors is less than a few seconds. A bright light that startles you for several seconds and then goes off. This phenomenon and its brief glow, like many other cases in nature, are a reflection of us and our presence in the world. The span of our presence in the world and all that we are and do is just as short as the length of the meteor’s shine. Although it is us who determine how bright we are, what light we have and whether we can be seen at all, but in the end life is just as short and beautiful, maybe watching the meteor shower in Savvoshi 1402 can be more than just experiencing beauty.
