Two Meteor Showers to Light Up the Night Sky in Late July: A Doubleheader of Shooting Stars from the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids

Broke On: Monday, 29 July 2024 In late July, two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, will peak simultaneously. The Southern Delta Aquariids originate from comet 96P/Machholz and produce up to 20 meteors per hour under dark skies in the Northern Hemisphere. The Alpha Capricornids stem from comet 169P/NEAT, creating around five meteors per hour. Meteor showers result when cosmic rocks enter Earth's atmosphere, forming shooting stars. Skygazers in the Northern Hemisphere can witness this doubleheader with optimal conditions in late July.
