You Can See 2 Meteor Showers at Once This Week. How to Catch a Glimpse
This week, sky gazers have a unique opportunity to witness two meteor showers at once - the Alpha Capricornids and the Southern Delta Aquariids. Both showers will reach their peak on the same day, July 28th. The Alpha Capricornids are known for their slow-moving, bright fireballs, while the Southern Delta Aquariids are characterized by their steady stream of meteors. The best time to view the showers is during the pre-dawn hours, when the moon is not as bright, making it easier to spot the meteors. Observers are advised to find a location with minimal light pollution, such as a rural area or a park, and allow their eyes to adjust to the darkness for about 20-30 minutes before the peak viewing time. With some luck and clear skies, sky watchers may be able to catch a glimpse of both meteor showers at once, creating a unique celestial display.
