Ocean on the moon Europa

Scientists' consensus is that a layer of liquid water exists beneath Europa's surface, and that heat from tidal flexing allows the subsurface ocean to remain liquid.

Europa's surface temperature averages about 110 K (−160 °C; −260 °F) at the equator and only 50 K (−220 °C; −370 °F) at the poles, keeping Europa's icy crust as hard as granite. The first hints of a subsurface ocean came from theoretical considerations of tidal heating (a consequence of Europa's slightly eccentric orbit and orbital resonance with the other Galilean moons). Galileo imaging team members argue for the existence of a subsurface ocean from analysis of Voyager and Galileo images.

The most dramatic example is "chaos terrain", a common feature on Europa's surface that some interpret as a region where the subsurface ocean has melted through the icy crust.

The thin-ice model suggests that Europa's ice shell may be only a few kilometers thick. However, most planetary scientists conclude that this model considers only those topmost layers of Europa's crust that behave elastically when affected by Jupiter's tides.

The Hubble Space Telescope acquired an image of Europa in 2012 that was interpreted to be a plume of water vapour erupting from near its south pole The image suggests the plume may be 200 km (120 mi) high, or more than 20 times the height of Mt. Everest.

Life?

So far, there is no evidence that life exists on Europa, but Europa has emerged as one of the most likely locations in the Solar System for potential habitability. Life could exist in its under-ice ocean, perhaps in an environment similar to Earth's deep-ocean hydrothermal vents. Even if Europa lacks volcanic hydrothermal activity, a 2016 NASA study found that Earth-like levels of hydrogen and oxygen could be produced through processes related to serpentinization and ice-derived oxidants, which do not directly involve volcanism.

In 2015, scientists announced that salt from a subsurface ocean may likely be coating some geological features on Europa, suggesting that the ocean is interacting with the seafloor. This may be important in determining if Europa could be habitable. The likely presence of liquid water in contact with Europa's rocky mantle has spurred calls to send a probe there.

Missions

Europa Clipper is an interplanetary mission in development by NASA comprising an orbiter. Set for a launch in October 2024, the spacecraft is being developed to study the Galilean moon Europa through a series of flybys while in orbit around Jupiter.

The Europa Lander is a proposed astrobiology mission concept by NASA to Europa, an icy moon of Jupiter. If funded and developed as a large strategic science mission, it would be launched in 2027 to complement the studies by the Europa Clipper orbiter mission and perform analyses on site. NASA's budget for fiscal year 2021 neither mandates nor allocates any funds to the mission leaving its future uncertain.

The objectives of the mission are to search for biosignatures at the subsurface ≈10 cm, to characterize the composition of non-ice near-subsurface material, and determine the proximity of liquid water and recently erupted material near the lander's location.

For The First Time, A 'Space Hurricane' Has Been Detected Over The North Pole

https://sciencespies.com/space/for-the-first-time-a-space-hurricane-has-been-detected-over-the-north-pole/

For The First Time, A 'Space Hurricane' Has Been Detected Over The North Pole

For the first time, a hurricane has been detected in Earth’s upper atmosphere. In 2014, satellites recorded a huge flowing swirl of plasma extending high into the magnetosphere that lasted for hours before dispersing.

Although we’ve never seen anything like this before, its detection suggests that space hurricanes, as they are known, could be a common planetary phenomenon.

“Until now, it was uncertain that space plasma hurricanes even existed, so to prove this with such a striking observation is incredible,” said space environment physicist Mike Lockwood of the University of Reading in the UK.

Hurricanes in Earth’s lower atmosphere are common: powerful, rotating weather systems around a relatively calm centre, accompanied by strong winds and lashing rain that can cause vast amounts of damage in a very short time.

They’re not uncommon on other bodies, either: Jupiter and Saturn, in particular, are extremely turbulent places, not to mention roiling plasma tornadoes deep in the atmosphere of the Sun. 

Space hurricanes, the new work reveals, are not dissimilar to their lower atmosphere cousins.

The detections were made on 20 August 2014, and revealed during a retrospective analysis led by Shandong University in China. According to the data, the hurricane appeared over the North Pole, extending to a diameter of 1,000 kilometres (621 miles).

It reached from 110 kilometres to 860 kilometres in altitude, and consisted of plasma with multiple spiral arms, swirling in an anticlockwise direction at speeds up to 2,100 metres per second (6,900 feet per second). The centre, however, was almost still, just like in hurricanes at lower altitudes.

Unlike other hurricanes, however, the space hurricane rained electrons into the ionosphere. This had a stunning effect: a huge, cyclone-shaped aurora below the hurricane. The whole thing lasted nearly eight hours, depositing vast amounts of energy and momentum into the ionosphere.

Conditions were otherwise quiet, which posed a mystery. A rain of charged particles into the ionosphere from the solar wind is what usually produces glowing green aurorae at Earth’s higher latitudes, but solar conditions at the time were relatively quiet. So the team turned to modelling to determine what caused the plasma ruckus.

“Tropical storms are associated with huge amounts of energy, and these space hurricanes must be created by unusually large and rapid transfer of solar wind energy and charged particles into the Earth’s upper atmosphere,” Lockwood explained.

We know that reconnecting magnetic field lines can transfer solar wind energy into the magnetosphere and ionosphere, so the team modelled this process and found that a reconnecting interplanetary magnetic field can produce the features they observed in the space hurricane, even when the solar wind is low. In fact, the low solar wind might be key – it allows for more efficient magnetic reconnection.

It also means that such storms might be quite common.

“Plasma and magnetic fields in the atmosphere of planets exist throughout the universe, so the findings suggest space hurricanes should be a widespread phenomena,” Lockwood said.

There are implications for Earth, too. Knowing that aurorae can be the product of space hurricanes, and what these aurorae look like, could help us identify other such storms in the future.

It also shows that, even when geomagnetic conditions are relatively quiet, space can whip up extreme weather that can impact life on Earth, and the skies above it.

“This study suggests that there are still existing local intense geomagnetic disturbance and energy depositions which is comparable to that during super storms. This will update our understanding of the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling process under extremely quiet geomagnetic conditions,” said space physicist and first author, Qing-He Zhang of Shandong University.

“In additional, the space hurricane will lead to important space weather effects like increased satellite drag, disturbances in High Frequency radio communications, and increased errors in over-the-horizon radar location, satellite navigation and communication systems.”

The research has been published in Nature Communications.

Plastic Reconstructive and Cosmetic Surgery

Plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgery refers to a variety of operations performed in order to repair or restore body parts to look normal, or to change a body part to look better. These types of surgery are highly specialized and performed by surgeons trained to precise cutting and suturing techniques, and by care taken to minimize scarring. Recent advances in the development of miniaturized instruments, new materials for artificial limbs and body parts, and improved surgical techniques have expanded the range of plastic surgery procedures that can be performed.

Although these three types of surgery share some common techniques and approaches, they have somewhat different emphases. Plastic surgery is usually performed to treat birth defects and to remove skin blemishes such as warts, acne scars, or birthmarks. Cosmetic surgery procedures are performed to make persons look younger or enhance their appearance in other ways. Reconstructive surgery is used to reattach body parts severed in combat or accidents, to perform skin grafts after severe burns, or to reconstruct parts of person’s body that were missing at birth or removed by surgery.

Most cosmetic surgery is done on the face. It is intended either to correct disfigurement or to enhance a person’s features. The most common cosmetic procedure for children is correction of a cleft lip or palate. In adults, the reshaping of the nose (rhinoplasty), removing of excess skin around the eyes (blepharoplasty), face lifts (rhytidectomy), reshaping and adjusting the size of the breast (mammoplasty). In our modern time where more emphasis is put on our looks it become more acceptable for men to request facelifts and eyelid surgery, hair transplants and tummy tucks. Reconstructive surgery is often performed on burn and accident victims. It may involve the rebuilding of severely fractured bones and skin grafting, the reattachment of an amputated finger or toe, or implanting a prosthesis.How to proceed? After a meticulous research is done and making sure the surgeon has the right qualifications a first consultative meeting will be arranged. If everything was well explained and understood at the end of the visit or at a next visit (never rush to a conclusion unless you feel complete confident in the procedure and the surgeon) and as soon the appointment for surgery has been scheduled, the count down starts, not only for you, but also for the surgeon who has just made an agreement with you. The quality of the final result will depend on your mutual agreement. You must not undergo this operation passively. Your part is the most essential. You should establish a new mode of behavior, as does the surgeon, so that on the day of the surgery, all should be at the best of their forms, since the success of the operation is resulting from the fruitful work performed by a team, and you are the center of this team. Preparation for plastic surgery includes the surgeon’s detailed assessment. A physical examination followed by blood and urine tests, and other tests to make sure that they do not have any previously undetected health problems or blood clotting disorders. The skin has to be well prepared. Dietetic guidelines have to be followed as accurately as possible. Do not take any aspirin 7 days before and 8 days after the surgery. Plastic, cosmetic, and reconstructive surgeries have an important psychological dimension because of the high value placed on outward appearance in Western society. Plastic, reconstructive, and cosmetic surgical procedures are performed by surgeons with specialized training in plastic and reconstructive surgery. Depending on the complexity of the procedures, they may be performed in hospitals as an inpatient, in outpatient facilities, or in private professional offices.

Honda Genio 110 scooter launched with great pomp, gets many advanced features with sporty look

Looking at all the brands, now Honda is also launching more than one two-wheeler of its own. Currently, Honda Motors has launched the new Scooty Honda JNU 100 (Honda Genio 110) in Indonesia.

In appearance, it looks like a sports bike, along with it, the very latest technology has also been used in it. If we talk about India, here you can compare its design with Yamaha Fascino.

The company has given any information related to this new scooter to the customers. The company said that this scooter has been made completely based on European design. At the same time, golden touch has also been given to its body. It gets all the LED lights, which include the headlight, DRL, indicator, and tail light.

The engine of the Honda Genio: The 110cc engine has been given by the company in Honda Genio. This engine generates power of 8.5PS and torque of 9.3 Nm. It has been given wider and shorter tires than before. Earlier this scooter used to get 14-inch tires, but in this new model, the company has given 12-inch tires.

Honda’s Ideal Stop System has been added to this scooter, with this technology its performance will increase manifold.

Honda Genio Price and Launch: The price of this scooter is going to be slightly higher, mainly because a company has made it quite advanced. If you convert its price kept in Indonesia to Indian rupees, then its price will be around 93,000 rupees.

Right now the Honda Activa 125 can be bought for less than this. This scooter has recently been launched in Indonesia. There is no statement about its launch in India yet. The company believes that this may affect the flagship of the country’s best-selling scooter Honda Activa, so a decision has to be taken before launching it.

Now it has to be seen when the company will officially launch it in India. More recently, the 110 cc version of TVS Jupiter has been launched. Many great features have been given in it.

Guess Who is the Best LHB Bogies Supplier in India? Pros & Cons.

Summary: Linke Hofmann Busch trainers are Indian Railways passenger trainers built by Linke-Hofmann-Busch of Germany and mainly manufactured by the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, India. They have been used since 2000 to 5 ft 6 in a wide network of Indian railways. LHB trainers can travel much faster than ICF trainers. The maximum allowable speed for LHB trainers is 160 kmph, while ICF trainers are allowed to travel at a maximum speed of 110 kmph. LHB trainers are 1.7 meters taller than regular ICF trainers, which enhances their resilience. Jupiter Wagons are the best LHB bogies supplier in India.

Introduction:

LHB Trainers on Indian Railways: To strengthen passenger safety, Link Hofmann Busch (LHB) trainers have been introduced on the Indian Railways network. Recently, the Minister of Railways Piyush Goyal informed Parliament that between 2009 and 2014, only 1,866 LHB trainers were made by Indian Railways production units, some of whom are regular trainers of the Integral Coach Factory (ICF). According to the Minister of Railways, professional German LHB trainers have a better safety record than coaches who make up the ICF. Goyal went on to say that between 2014 and 2019, a total of 9,932 LHB trainers were produced and over the past two years, the national transport operator has suspended production of ICF trainers. and better than regular ICF-design train trainers. Unlike the train trainers that make up the ICF, LHB trainers offer a higher carrying capacity, have a higher speed capacity, and have less weight and have higher codal health. In addition, LHB trainers also boast better safety features compared to ICF design trainers. In addition to these features, LHB trainers also have antiseptic features that prevent trainers from accumulating during train accidents. A few months ago, it was reported that the ICF released its 3000 trainers this year in less than nine months. Also, it was previously reported that the record was registered by the ICF with the release of 2,222 LHB trainers over a period of 8 months and 11 days in the current financial year.

LHB Coaches:

Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) design trainers are heavier, have higher handling power, higher speed power, increased code life and better safety features compared to Integral Coach Factory (ICF) design trainers. LHB passenger trainers traveling over Indian Railways (IR) are designed with the safety features required when considering Indian Railways operating conditions. However, in order to provide passengers with a safe and comfortable journey, the government has decided to replace the standard ICF trains for Mail / Express trains into LHB design trainers in stages. LHB Passenger Trainer Trainers on Indian Railways are designed with the safety features required when considering Indian Railways operating conditions. The Indian Railways’ Rail Coach Factory (RCF) Kapurthala has produced 151 Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) trainers in July.

This is one of the best balanced draft gear available in the market.

LHB Coaches Manufacturers in India

Jupiter Wagons are the leading suppliers of Linke Hofmann Busch coaches. They are manufacturers of all types of train vehicles, train trainers, train trainers, connectors, connectors, trains, trains, metal handling, gears repair, manganese steel crossings. When it comes to freight trains, even if you don’t cross the loop line for the same reasons. However, the freight train, BOX, BOXN, BOXN-HL will be 11 to 15 meters long. Typically, carts in a single wheel can be from 40 to 150 feet [40 to 58 m] high depending on the length of the boxes. Thus, a freight train can have 58 carriages and a passenger train can only have 24 trainers.

Conclusion:

Jupiter Wagons provide train body parts as well as train and train trainers in India. They offer state-of-the-art train body services at an affordable price. They are the makers of Rail Premium in India

Nubank co-leads $45 million investment in Indian neobank Jupiter

Industry veteran Jitendra Gupta’s neobank for consumers in India — Jupiter — has raised $45 million in a new financing round as the Bangalore and Mumbai-based startup gears up for its platform’s public launch in about a month.

The new financing round, a Series B, was co-led by Brazil-based Nubank, Global Founders Capital, Sequoia Capital and Matrix Partners. Mirae Assets Venture also joined the round and existing investors including Addition Ventures, Tanglin VC, 3one4 Capital, Greyhound and Beenext also participated.

The new round values the two-year-old Indian startup, which has raised $70 million to date, at over $300 million.

Jupiter has built a neobank for consumers in India. The startup, which launched its eponymous platform in beta in June, is attempting to bring “delight” to the banking experience.

“We believe that a bank account should be a smart account, where it gives you insight, shares personalized tips and guides you through attaining some financial discipline,” said Gupta — who co-founded CitrusPay (sold to Naspers’ PayU) and served as managing director of PayU — in a recent interview with TechCrunch.

The startup, which employs over 110 people, has developed a number of products including a savings account bundled with features that aim to simplify money management.

The platform, which positions itself as a “100% digital bank” also offers the ability to buy now and pay later on UPI, a standard developed by a coalition of banks in India that has become the most popular way people in the country transact online.

“Nubank and Jupiter share the mission of making banking the best experience possible for our customers, putting an end to all the bureaucracy and the pain in the current system. The Indian and Brazilian markets have many similarities and through this investment, we aim to support Jupiter in their growth path. We see a lot of potential and are excited about joining them so early on their journey,” said David Vélez, founder and chief executive of Nubank, in a statement.

In an interaction Thursday, Gupta said the startup is currently working to on-board the 100,000 people who have signed up to the waiting list. After this, in about a month, he said Jupiter will launch to the public.

Scores of startups in India are attempting to improve the banking experience in India today. Whether you are a teenager, or just out of college, or a working professional, or don’t have a credit score, there are firms that can get you a credit card and loan. But even these services have a ceiling limit of some sort.

“If you really want to change the banking industry, you cannot operate from the side. You have to fight from the centre, where they deposit their money. It’s a very time-consuming process and requires a lot of initial capital and experience with banks,” said Gupta.

“Neo-banks like Jupiter are exactly what India needs: someone who can deliver simple, extensive and high-quality digital banking in a cost-efficient way. Think a customer experience so good that it feels like making privileged banking available to folks who dread branch visits and long waiting times. Banking needs to meet customers where they are, and serve them in the most intuitive manner possible. Jiten and his stellar tech team have built just that, on top of the existing banking stack,” said Ashish Dave, chief executive of Mirae Asset Venture Investments’ India business.

Fintech veteran Jitendra Gupta is ready for his new inning — now he is going after banks in India

The Best Two-Wheelers for Senior Citizens

Among the various types of personal transport out there, a two-wheeler, no doubt, is rather convenient and affordable. In India, anyone who is aged 18 or above and has a valid driving license can drive a two-wheeler, be it a motorcycle or a scooter. But, a motorcycle is relatively tricky to learn and handle, and therefore, many people prefer a scooter instead.

Scooters are for everyone!  Much popular among the young and old alike, especially, the elderly or the senior citizens love them because they provide them with unmatched convenience and sense of control and safety. It is much safer to drive a scooter through the hustle-bustle of heavy traffic and crowded markets. Most importantly, they can enjoy their self-reliance and go anywhere, anytime, without having to ask others to take them.

Another good thing about scooters is that they are high on mileage and require low maintenance. Even if you use them every day, you need not worry about hefty fuel bills and maintenance costs. However, it’s always good to have two-wheeler insurance to get covered for any unwarranted expenses on account of unfortunate events like accident, theft, etc.

Every penny matters! And it matters more when you are a senior citizen because you must use your hard money wisely to ensure your financial well-being throughout your golden years.  

So, if you are a ‘Senior Citizen’ and searching for a suitable two-wheeler (scooter) for yourselves, here is a lowdown of some good options to choose from:

Honda Dio

The Honda Dio scooter comes in two models – STD and DLX. It is packed full of features.

 Some Safety Tips for Senior Citizens

While two-wheelers are a convenient and easy mode of transport, senior citizens should be mindful of a few basic things for their safety.

For instance, it is important to maintain a safe distance from other vehicles on the road. Do not try to overtake a vehicle if there is not enough space. You should always be cautious and follow all traffic rules. The traffic rules are meant for our safety. Do not suddenly brake your bike or make a sudden turn without indicating. Remember that a vehicle does not stop as soon as a brake is pressed. Give your vehicle some time before it comes to a halt. Also, carry all important documents like driving license, registration copy and insurance papers of the vehicle with you. Even for an old vehicle, don’t forget to renew two-wheeler insurance to avoid a policy lapse.

Conclusion

Two-wheelers are a great option for senior citizens who want to travel in their vehicle. They are much more affordable and comfortable for them than other means of conveyance, including public transport, which often is inadequate or not a practical option for many.

The scooters mentioned above are all suitable for senior citizens. Do consider your specific needs before arriving at a final decision, however.    

And lest you forget, while buying a new two-wheeler, you must also purchase two-wheeler insurance along with it. In case you already have one, remember to renew two-wheeler insurance from time to time. You may consider comprehensive policy since it gives a broader coverage in addition to mandatory third party cover benefits.

Look up for meteor showers in 2021

By Jonti Horner for the University of Southern Queensland and Tanya Hill from Museums Victoria

The best meteor showers are a spectacular sight but, unfortunately, 2021 starts with a whimper. Moonlight this January will wash out the first of the big three — the Quadrantids (seen above in 2020).

After that, the year just gets better and better, with the Perseids (another of the big three along with the Geminids) a particular highlight for northern hemisphere observers in August.

In addition to the year’s other reliable performers we’ve included one wild card: the Aurigids, in late August. Most years, the Aurigids are a very, very minor shower, but they just might put on a show this year.

So here is our pick of the meteoric highlights for 2021.

For each meteor shower, we give you a finder chart showing the radiant (where the meteors appear to come from in the sky) and where best to look in the sky, the full period of activity and the forecast peak. Most meteor showers typically only yield their best rates for about a day around maximum, so the peak night is definitely the best to observe.

The Zenithal Hourly Rate ZHR is the maximum number of meteors you would expect to see under perfect observing conditions. The actual number you will see will likely be lower.

Most meteor showers can only really be observed from either the northern [N] or southern [S] hemisphere, but a few are visible from both [N/S].

Lyrids [N/S; N favoured]

Active: April 14–30

Maximum: April 22, 1pm UTC = 11pm AEST (Qld) = 7am CST = 3am Hawaii time

ZHR: 18

Parent: Comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher

The Lyrids are one of the meteor showers with the longest and most storied histories, with recorded observations spanning millenia. In the past, they were one of the year’s most active showers, with a history of producing spectacular meteor storms.

Nowadays, the Lyrids are more sedate, putting on a reliable show without matching the year’s stronger showers. They still throw up occasional surprises such as an outburst in excess of 90 meteors per hour in 1982.

This year’s peak Lyrid rates coincide with the first quarter Moon, which will set around midnight, local time, for most locations. The best time to observe will come in the early hours of the morning, after moonset.

For observers in the northern hemisphere, the Lyrid radiant will already be at a useful altitude by the time the Moon is low in the sky, so some brighter meteors might be visible despite the moonlight in the late evening (after around 10:30pm, local time).

Once the Moon sets the sky will darken and make the shower much easier to observe, yielding markedly higher rates.

For observers in the southern hemisphere, the Lyrid radiant reaches a useful altitude in the early hours of the morning, when the Moon will have set. If you’re a keen meteor observer, it could be worth setting your alarm early to get out and watch the show for a few hours before dawn.

Lyrid meteors are fast and often quite bright so can be rewarding to observe, despite the relatively low rates (one every five or ten minutes, or so). Remember, this shower always has the potential to throw up an unexpected surprise.

Eta Aquariids [S]

Active: April 19–May 28

Maximum: May 6, 3am UTC = 1pm AEST (Qld/NSW/ACT/Vic/Tas) = 11am AWST (WA)

ZHR: 50+

Parent: Comet 1P/Halley

The Eta Aquariids are an autumn treat for southern hemisphere observers. While not one of the big three, they stand clear as the best of the rest of the annual showers, yielding a fine display in the two or three hours before dawn.

The Eta Aquariids are fast meteors and are often bright, with smoky trains. They are fragments of the most famous comet, 1P/Halley, which has been laying down debris around its current orbit of the Sun for tens of thousands of years.

Earth passes through that debris twice a year, with the Eta Aquariids the best of the two meteor showers that result. The other is the Orionids, in October.

Where most meteor showers have a relatively short, sharp peak, the Eta Aquariids remain close to their best for a whole week, centred on the maximum. Good rates (ZHR > 30 per hour) should be visible before sunrise on each morning between May 3–10.

The Moon will be a waning crescent when the Eta Aquariids are at their best. Its glare should not interfere badly with the shower, washing out only the faintest members.

Observers who brave the pre-dawn hours to observe the Eta Aquariids will have the chance to lie beneath a spectacular sky. The Milky Way will be high overhead, with Jupiter, Saturn and the Moon high to the east and bright, fast meteors streaking across the sky from an origin near the eastern horizon.

Perseids [N]

Active: July 17–August 24

Maximum: August 12, 7pm–10pm UTC = 8pm–11pm BST = August 13, 4am–7am JST

ZHR: 110

Parent: Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle

The Perseids are the meteoric highlight of the northern summer and the most observed shower of the year. December’s Geminids offer better rates but the timing of the Perseid peak makes them an ideal holiday treat.

The Perseids are debris shed behind by comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, which is the largest known object (diameter around 26km) whose orbit currently intersects that of Earth.

Perseid meteors are fast, crashing into Earth at a speed of about 216,000km/h, and often bright. While the shower is active, at low levels, for more than a month, the best rates are typically visible for at the three nights centred on the peak.

For observers at European latitudes, the Perseid radiant rises by mid-evening, so the shower can be easily observed from 10pm local time, and remains high all through the night. The later in the night you look, the higher the radiant will be and the more meteors you’re likely to see.

Aurigids [N favoured]

Active: August 28–September 5

Maximum: Potential Outburst on August 31, peaking between 9:15pm–9:40pm UTC = 10:15pm–10:40pm BST = 11:15pm–11:40pm CEST = September 1, 1:15am–1:40am Gulf Standard Time = September 1, 5:15am–5:40am AWST (WA)

ZHR: 50–100 (?)

Parent: Comet C/1911 N1 Kiess

Where the other showers are reliable and relatively predictable, offering good rates every year, the Aurigids are an entirely different beast.

In most years, the shower is barely visible. Even at its peak, rates rarely exceed just a couple of meteors seen per hour. But occasionally the Aurigids bring a surprise with short and unexpected outbursts of 30-50 meteors an hour seen in 1935, 1986, 1994 and 2019.

The parent comet of the Aurigids, C/1911 N1 Kiess, moves on an orbit with a period far longer than the parent of any other shower on our list.

It is thought the orbit takes between 1,800 and 2,000 years to complete, although our knowledge of it is very limited as it was only observed for a short period of time.

In late August every year, Earth passes through debris shed by the comet at a previous passage thousands of years into the past. In most years, the dust we encounter is very sparse.

But occasionally we intersect a denser, narrow stream of debris, material laid down at the comet’s previous passage. That dust has not yet had time to disperse so is more densely packed and hence gives enhanced rates: a meteor outburst.

Several independent research teams studying the past behaviour of the shower have all come to the same conclusion. On August 31, 2021, the Earth will once again intersect that narrow band of debris and an outburst may occur, with predictions it will peak around 21:17 UTC or 21:35 UTC.

Such an outburst would be short-lived. The dense core of the debris stream is so narrow it will take the Earth just ten or 20 minutes to traverse. So you’ll have to be lucky to see it.

The forecast outburst this year is timed such that observers in Eastern Europe and Asia will be the fortunate ones, with the radiant above the horizon. The waning Moon will light the sky when the radiant is above the horizon, washing out the fainter meteors from the shower.

From Europe, the expected peak of the Aurigids occurs just before Moonrise. Be sure to look for the Pleiades whilst watching for any Aurigids – they’re a spectacular cluster of bright stars, commonly known as the Seven Sisters. Vienna, 11:30pm. Museums Victoria/Stellarium

The Aurigids tend to be fast and are often quite bright. Previous outbursts of the shower have featured large numbers of bright meteors. It may just be worth getting up and heading outside at the time of the predicted outburst, just in case the Aurigids give us a show to remember.

Geminids [N/S]

Active: December 4–17

Maximum: December 14, 7am UTC = 6pm AEDT (NSW/ACT/Vic/Tas) = 3pm AWST (WA) = 2am EST

ZHR: 150

Parent: Asteroid 3200 Phaethon

The Geminid meteor shower is truly a case of saving the best until last. By far the best of the annual meteor showers, it graces our skies every December, yielding good numbers of spectacular, bright meteors.

The shower is so good it is always worth observing, even in 2021, when the Moon will be almost full.

Over the decades, the Geminids have gradually become stronger and stronger. They took the crown of the year’s best shower from the Perseids in the 1990s, and have continued to improve ever since.

For observers in the northern hemisphere, the Geminids are visible from relatively early in the evening, with their radiant rising shortly after sunset, and remaining above the horizon for all of the hours of darkness.

As the night progresses, the radiant gets very high in the sky and the shower can put on a truly spectacular show.

For those in the southern hemisphere, the situation is not quite as ideal. The further south you live, the later the radiant will rise, and so the later the show will begin.

When the radiant reaches its highest point in the sky (around 2am–3am local time), it sits closer to the horizon the further south you are, so the best meteor rates you observe will be reduced compared to those seen from more northerly locations.

At its highest point, the Geminids radiant sits higher from Brisbane (left) than from Hobart (right), which is why northern observers have a better chance of seeing more meteors. Museums Victoria/Stellarium

Despite these apparent drawbacks, the Geminids are still by far the best meteor shower of the year for observers in Australia, and are well worth a look, even on the moonlit nights of 2021.

Peak Geminid rates last for around 24 hours, centred on the official peak time, before falling away relatively rapidly thereafter. This means that observers around the globe can enjoy the display.

The best rates come when the radiant is highest in the sky (around 2–3am) but it is well worth looking up at any time after the radiant has risen above the horizon.

So wherever you are on the planet, if skies are clear for the peak of the Geminids, it is well worth going outside and looking up, to revel in the beauty of the greatest of the annual meteor showers.
