Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids Meteor Showers Peak Amid Bright Buck Moon
Two meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, will peak overnight on July 30-31, coinciding with a nearly full Buck Moon that will reduce visibility. The Southern Delta Aquariids, active from July 23 to August 23, produce up to 25 meteors per hour but are faint and best seen from southern regions. The Alpha Capricornids, active from July 12 to August 12, generate fewer meteors but include bright fireballs visible despite moonlight. Observers are advised to watch after midnight for optimal viewing.
