Perseids 2020: again, enhanced Perseid activity around solar longitude 141?
Abstract
In 2018 and 2019, a peak in Perseid activity was observed around solar longitude 141.0°, about ~30 hours after the traditional Perseid maximum. In 2018 this was only observed visually, in 2019 almost only with radio observations. Only the onset to the peak in 2019 has been observed visually in Europe. With two consecutive years of extra Perseid activity around sun longitude 141.0°, 2020 was eagerly anticipated.
