(meteorobs) the radiant
I am inviting a friend out for his first meteor
shower (Geminids). I suggested plotting the meteor paths to determine the
location of the radiant would make an interesting exercise.
What will be the coordinates of the radiant on
Monday and Tuesday evening. I understand the radiant does move slightly from
night to night. Are the coordinates also a function of the latitude
of the observer to any extent that might be measurable?
While it may be true that his plots may not be
sufficiently accurate the first try, it would still be nice to have a baseline
for comparison. The second question is really more to satisfy my
curiosity.
