Light Falls to Earth – Meteor Showers – Making a Wish!
We all need a bit more light these days living as we are in the Kali Yuga Age, when the darkness is allowed to be seen. In the Kali Yuga, the world is covered in three-fourths darkness and only one-fourth of the spectrum of light is available. Meteor showers are spectacular events where it looks like light is falling to earth. People make wishes on these falling stars. Meteor showers are times of hope for humanity. We can look forward to outstanding meteor showers in the coming months. The Perseids (July 17 – August 24) & Delta Aquariids (July 13 – August 24) then the Geminids in December (December 4 – 17). We all need a bit more light these days.
The rambling Delta Aquariid meteor showers begin this Monday. Though the peak isn’t for a couple of weeks, we will be able to see a few shooting stars here and there in the night sky now. The Delta Aquariids produce between 10 and 20 meteors an hour and will peak July 29. The Deltas are a dress rehearsal for summer’s big shooting star event, the prolific Perseid meteor showers.
The Delta Aquariids are always reliable, producing meteors on the days before and after the peak date and continuing through about August 23. They then intersect with the Perseids, the best meteor shower of the year. Then in December, we have the Geminids meteor shower heralding the solstice and the new coming light of the new year.
The 2021 Delta Aquariids might be faint to begin with because the shower favors the Southern Hemisphere. The Delta Aquariids are best seen between midnight and dawn everywhere in the world. The shooting stars we see in the sky could be from the Delta Aquariid or Perseids. Both are falling stars. However to distinguish a Delta Aquariid from the Perseids,, we must know our directions.
The Deltas fly from the south and the Perseids from the North Northeast. The shooting stars emerge from “radiant points.” (for the Perseids, the prominent constellation Perseus; for the Delta Aquariids, the constellation Aquarius, the Water Bearer.
It is supposed to be an excellent year for the Perseids, bright and steady with 100 shooting stars an hour. Sometimes we will see shooting stars, bright fireballs, every minute. We adjust our eyes to night vision, leave our cell phones behind, lay on the ground or set out a lawn chair in the yard or on a mountaintop, gather the children and watch the light show. Humanity needs more light in our dark time of the Kali Yuga. Remember to wish upon all the stars as they fall to earth.
