Get ready for a sky show: The Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids meteor showers.
Reading
Get ready to see shooting stars! Two meteor showers are happening at the same time in late July. These showers are called the Delta Aquariids and the Alpha Capricornids.
The Delta Aquariids happen every summer and will peak early Tuesday morning. You might see 15 to 20 shooting stars every hour if the sky is dark.
The Alpha Capricornids will also be visible around the same time, with about 5 shooting stars per hour. Even though there are fewer shooting stars, they are often much brighter.
The best time to see shooting stars is between midnight and dawn, away from city lights. Try not to look at your phone, as the bright screen makes it harder to see the stars.
If you miss these showers, don't worry! The next big one, the Perseids, peaks in mid-August. You can find a list of all upcoming meteor showers online.
