Summer is quickly passing by—but not without the ultimate meteor（流星）shower event!
The2021 Perseids Meteor Shower, which is considered to be the best meteor shower of the year, is expected to start lighting up skies on this Wednesday, according to NASA. Known for fireballs, the Perseids typically light up skies on warm summer nights, leaving “long wake（尾迹）of light and color1 behind them.”
Under ideal conditions, sky watchers may see approximately 50-100 meteors per hour with each meteor traveling at 37 miles per second. .
Because the meteors appear in all parts of the sky, it will be pretty easy to witness the celestial（天上的）event from anywhere in the world. To get the best show, it is advised to view the Perseids from the Northern Hemisphere（半球）during the pre- dawn hours, ideally between 2 a.m. and dawn. In some cases, sky gazers may
be able to seemeteors during this shower as early as 9 or 10 p. m.
“If it's not cloudy, pick an observing spot away from bright lights, lie on your back, and look up! You don't need any special equipment to view the Perseids—just your eyes,” NASA wrote on their site, adding that telescopes or binoculars are not recommended due to their small fields of view.
Remember to let your eyes become adjusted to the dark. Try to stay off of your phone too, as looking at devices with bright screens will negatively affect your night vision and thus reduce the number of meteors you see!
For those who may be unable to view the Perseids in person, a live broadcast will be streaming from NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, starting around 8 p. m. on Aug. 11 and continuing through sunrise on Aug. 12.
12. What can we learn about the Perseids Meteor Shower?
A. It will be the best meteor shower in history.
B. The ultimate shower only happens on this Wednesday.
C. We can observe 50- 100 meteors per hour in any place.
D. The Meteors usually have long and bright trails behind them.
13. Which of the following may be the best time to view the shower?
A. At 4 a. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
B. At 2 p. m. on the Northern Hemisphere.
C. At sunrise on the Southern Hemisphere.
D. At dawn on the Southern Hemisphere.
14. What can be inferred about the observation of Meteors?
A. If you use a telescope, you will see more meteors.
B. You can use smartphones to record the grand scene.
C. The brighter the moon is, the more meteors you can see. .
D. Bright lights will reduce the visibility of meteors.
15. If you are not available to watch the Perseids personally, you can ________.
A. browse the unofficial website of NASA
B. watch a video recorded by a flight center
C. stream a live show on Aug. 11 night
D. use special devices to connect with the shower
