Kostromich will be able to see a rare morning starfall

For the attention of Kostroma lovers of astronomy: the Moscow planetarium reports that this year the meteor shower Daytime Sextantides will be especially active not at night (as is typical for most “starfalls”), but in the morning early in the morning. The planetarium also reports that the best time to observe Daytime Sextantides is early morning October 1. On this day from 4:00 to 6:00 in the morning you can see up to 15 meteors per hour.

Daytime Sextantids meteor shower is especially interesting because some astronomers consider the hypothetical planet Phaethon, which was once between Earth and Mars and was completely destroyed by a collision with a large meteorite about 3.9 billion years ago.
