Orionid Meteor Shower 2024. Information taken from this site: https://starwalk.space/en/news/orionid-meteor-shower-how-and-when-to-see Orionids are considered a major meteor shower. They are active from October 2 to November 7, producing their peak rates of meteors around October 21. On this day, the average number of meteors is approximately 20 per hour, which is more than any other meteor showers of October and even November produce. Meteor shower in Orion The radiant point of the Orionids is located in the constellation Orion, to the north of the bright star Betelgeuse. However, Orionid meteors can appear all over the sky, flying at the speed of 66 kilometers per second. In comparison, the speed of the Perseid meteors is 59 kilometers per second. Orionid meteors aren’t the fastest, but they keep their place at the top of the list Orionid meteor shower: where to see The Orionids are observable in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Look for the Orionids from 45 to 90 degrees away from the radiant (in the constellation Orion). From this perspective, they appear more glowy and longer than if you’d look directly at a radiant point. Best time to view the Orionid meteor shower 2024 The peak activity of the meteor shower occurs between midnight and dawn on October 21. This year, the peak happens alongside the 83%-illuminated Moon. The Moon shines in the Taurus constellation, right beside Orion, where the meteor shower radiates from. Unfortunately, the moonlight is likely to obscure most of the meteors. Nevertheless, you can attempt to spot a few meteors around 2 a.m. local time, when the meteor shower’s radiant reaches its highest point in the sky.

I’m aware . But they will for a fact, eventually leave Saturn ringless. Well beyond the perceivable future.

Oh no no! Sorry if I was confusing, they "disappear" temporarily because of Saturn's rotation, it would look like if they disappeared until Saturn rotates far enough so they get "visible" again.

Now in the future they won't just "disappear"; they'll have ceased to exist. But, supposedly that won't be the case until about 300 million years from now.

They start to "disappear" now because of the axis of Saturn

And won't reappear until.. wow. 2032. That's a looong time. I was able to see it for the first time I believe almost 2 years ago. Gee it's been that long? I'm lucky I had/have that chance before they aren't visible. Though I have to imagine you'll somewhat be able to see them (barely) as a thin line. Are they the most invisible starting 2025? Or is that when they "set"? Are they already hard to see now? Guess I have to find out lol.

NGC 7000 also known as “North America Nebula” has a distance of about 2,590 light years away from earth.

I was able to take a picture of Saturn, with a little more of exposure time, I'd be able to get an even sharper image of the planet So next time (please remind me because I'm forgetful sometimes ) I will do an hour of exposure time! About the planet itself, did you know that Saturn rings will disappear for a limited time? because of the planets rotation we'll be not able to see it's rings anymore for a few years! Saturn also is 9 times BIGGER than earth! while the planet itself is a gas giant with no solid core. Researchers also assume that, because of the atmospheric pressure, there's a high chance that it rains diamonds on Saturn! Saturn is also the second largest planet in our solar system with over 80 moons! fun fact: because of Saturns low density, If you would place Saturn on water, it would float

The M81 Galaxy (also known as Bode's Galaxy) is one of the largest and brightest galaxies near the Milky Way, located about 12 million light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. With a diameter of roughly 90,000 light-years, it has a well-defined spiral structure, making it a favorite target for astronomers. M81 is part of the M81 Galaxy Group, which includes several galaxies, notably the nearby M82 (Cigar Galaxy), with which it is gravitationally interacting. These interactions have affected the gas within M81 and may enhance star formation in the galaxy.

The Omega Nebula (also known as Messier 17 or the Swan Nebula) is a massive star-forming region located in the constellation Sagittarius. It is about 5,500 light-years away from Earth and contains one of the youngest and most massive star clusters in the Milky Way.

I can't photograph meteors because I don't have special equipment for this, but I managed to photograph the Capella star. This star is located in the constellation of the Charioteer (Auriga). I connected my phone camera and binoculars so I photographed this star.

I am currently observing this meteor shower and I have already seen one meteor. It was bright and beautiful. The meteor was in the northeast. It's 10:00 PM for me right now.

After spending nearly two hours in a field late at night, I managed to capture a photo of the Veil Nebula. The Veil Nebula is the remnant of a supernova that occurred around 10,000 to 20,000 years ago. The large star at the center of the image is known as 52 Cygni. It’s a giant star, approximately 12.4 times the size of our Sun. Although 52 Cygni is "just" 335 light-years from us, the Veil Nebula lies much farther away, at a distance of 2,400 light-years.

Alpha Aurigids. Information taken from this site: https://starwalk.space/en/news/the-alpha-aurigids-meteor-shower The Aurigids (or, more officially, Alpha Aurigids) are a medium meteor shower discovered by C. Hoffmeister and A. Teichgraeber on the night of August 31, 1935. Its radiant is placed in the constellation Auriga, near the Alpha Aurigae or Capella star; the meteor shower’s parent body is the comet C/1911 N1 Kiess. This year, the Aurigids are active from August 28 to September 5 and reach their maximum on August 31, 11:00 GMT (remember to convert this time to your local time zone). The best night for observing is from August 31 to September 1. In 2024, the Aurigids are expected to produce about 10 meteors per hour at the peak of activity, assuming excellent visible conditions (Class 5 or higher on the Bortle scale). The real rate that can be seen is nearly always lower and decreases the closer the radiant comes to the horizon. The radiant point of the Aurigid meteor shower is located in the constellation Auriga, which rises in the northeast. The higher the radiant is in the sky, the more meteors you're likely to see. The radiant elevation will vary depending on your location. View from the Northern Hemisphere The Aurigids are best seen from the Northern Hemisphere, where their radiant rises earlier at night and climbs higher. Start your observations after 01:00 a.m. local time. View from the Southern Hemisphere In the Southern Hemisphere, the radiant rises early in the morning, at about 3-4 a.m., and stays close to the horizon. You’ll only have about a couple of hours of viewing time before sunrise. I would like to observe this meteor shower today and on other days, but I don’t know if I will be able to. I only observed the Perseid meteor shower and some other one that I don’t remember the name of.
