United States of America
Meteor showers occur when rocks from space enter Earth's atmosphere and create glowing pockets of air, or shooting stars.
The Alpha Capricornids originate from comet 169P/NEAT and are expected to produce around five meteors per hour.
The Southern Delta Aquariids originate from comet 96P/Machholz and are expected to produce 15 to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies in the Northern Hemisphere.
Two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, will peak around the same time in late July.

Two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, will peak around the same time in late July. The Southern Delta Aquariids originate from comet 96P/Machholz and are expected to produce 15 to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies in the Northern Hemisphere.
