Tulyaks will be able to see a rare morning starfall in October

Residents of the Tula region in early October will have the opportunity to watch the unusual meteor shower Daytime Sextantids. Unlike most starbursts, its radiant is close to the Sun, so the right time to observe is just before dawn.

Readers of MK in Tula should keep in mind that the stream is active from September 20, and the maximum activity will reach October 1. It is best to look at the sky from about 4 to 6 a.m. Under favorable conditions, up to five meteors can be seen per hour.

However, this year's observations in the Tula region will be difficult. A bright waning moon can prevent meteors from seeing, so a particularly dark and open place will be needed to search for a starburst.

However, an early ascent can give Tulas a chance to see a rare celestial phenomenon with their own eyes.
