How to watch meteor shower ? Astronomical experts say that the five-word secret to watching a meteor shower is "naked eyes", "sunny sky" and "black".

naked eyes: meteors will appear randomly in any corner of the sky, so the wider the range you can see, the more meteors you see, don’t use a telescope!

Sunny days: Stargazing requires sunny days. Please pay attention to check the weather forecast before going out.

Black: Light pollution will mask many dark and weak meteors, so choose places with low light pollution and dark environment to see more meteors.

Shenzhen Observatory will also broadcast the meteor shower live on the "Shenzhen Astronomy" video account, and there will be exciting contents of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Biennale in 2022.

According to reports, December 14th is the opening of the Shenzhen City\Architecture Biennial. At that time, the event will invite astronomical experts from Shenzhen and Hong Kong and members of the International Dark Sky Association to review the special astronomical phenomena in 2022 and preview the 2023 special astronomical observation calendar.
