Summer Meteor Shower Duet Peaks July 30
Reading
Soon, there will be two meteor showers. They are the Southern Delta Aquariid and Alpha Capricornid showers. They will happen at the same time, on July 30th.
The moon will not be very bright then. This means the meteors should be easy to see. Go to a place far from city lights to see them well.
Each shower might have about twelve meteors every hour. Together, there will be even more meteors to see. Thaddeus LaCoursiere says to watch for light flashes at night.
The Alpha Capricornid meteors move slower. They might leave a tail in the sky for a short time. You can see these showers until August 12th.
Earth goes around the sun and passes debris. This debris comes from comets and asteroids. These space rocks burn up when they enter Earth's air and create shooting stars.
