Astronomers recommend observing shooting stars with the naked eye and outside the city to avoid light pollution. On the night of June 27, residents of Taganrog will be able to see the peak of the June Bootids meteor shower. Up to 100 meteors per hour are expected to streak across the sky in the hour before midnight. The June Botides are an annual meteor shower caused by the combustion of particles from Comet Pons-Winnecke in the Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth passes through its orbit every year from June 22 to July 2. The radiant is located in the constellation Bootes, east of the “handle” of the Ursa Major Dipper. After one o’clock in the morning it will descend to the western horizon. Egor Parshin Previously reported: Taganrog romantics will be able to watch June Bootids 1388 News on Notepad-Taganrog
