The Southern Delta Aquariid and Alpha Capricornid meteor showers will both peak in the early morning of July 30. These meteor showers can produce up to a dozen visible meteors per hour in dark skies, largely unaffected by moonlight, which will only be a quarter full. Ideal viewing conditions exist away from city lights, with the best times for viewing occurring in the predawn hours. The showers result from Earth passing through debris from comets, leading to bright meteors as they burn up in the atmosphere.
The Southern Delta Aquariid and Alpha Capricornid meteor showers will peak on July 30, producing up to a dozen visible meteors per hour under ideal conditions.
Both meteor showers can be seen clearly under dark skies, particularly in early predawn hours when the moonlight is minimal.
