Two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariid and the Alpha Capricornid, will peak simultaneously in the early morning hours on Wednesday. This rare event is caused by the Earth passing through the debris trails of two comets.
The showers have been active since mid-July and will peak late Tuesday night, producing up to 20 to 30 meteors per hour. The Southern Delta Aquariid shower is best seen in the Southern Hemisphere, while the Alpha Capricornid shower is known for its bright, slow-moving fireballs.
To watch the meteor showers, viewers should get away from city lights and be patient as the show can last until dawn. The best time to view the showers will be in the early hours of July 30, focusing on the southern part of the sky.
