This summer, the night sky has a lot in store. Additionally, this week’s quadruple meteor shower is possible because to the simultaneous peaks of the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids. Although scientists suggest you might get a better glimpse of the much-anticipated shower this month, the legendary Perseids will peak in mid-August.

Here’s everything you need to know about the celestial events lighting up the sky.
Southern Delta Aquariid and Alpha Capricornid meteor showers
Both the Alpha Capricornid and Southern Delta Aquariid meteor showers will peak on the evening of July 29 and early July 30. Viewers in the United States may be able to catch a peek of both showers, however they are best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere.

Around 25 miles per second is the top pace at which the Southern Delta Aquariids can travel. According to EarthSky, between 5 and 10 percent of these meteors leave behind luminous persistent trains that remain in the atmosphere for a brief period of time after the meteor burns through.

The shooting stars in the shower seem to be coming from the southwest region of the Aquarius constellation. Even though the exact cause of the Southern Delta Aquariids is still unknown, astronomers believe it to be the comet 96P/Machholz. The Southern Delta Aquariids could generate as many as 15 or 20 shooting stars each hour in ideal circumstances.
