Rare double meteor shower to rain up to 30 shooting stars per hour this month — here’s how to watch
It will rock your world.
Two phenomenal meteor showers are going to coincide with one another in a breathtakingly rare event later this month.
Come nighttime on July 30, both the Delta Aquarids and the Alpha Capricornids — stemming from the constellations Aquarius and Capricorn — will peak in harmony with one another over our planet’s skies, Earth.com reported.
It will be most visible in the southern hemisphere and portions of the northern hemisphere closer to the equator and away from urban lights.
The best time to watch is before the moon’s rise after midnight, according to Earthsky.com.
Stargazers can set their sights toward the constellations of Orion, Perseus, and Gemini, as well as Aquarius and Capricorn, per Earth.com, and catch up to 25 to 30 shooting stars per hour
Meanwhile, the Society For Popular Astronomy reports that the Deltas will move at a medium rate of speed while the Alphas will soar at a slower pace.
The show may also delightfully entangle with early showings of the mid-August peaking Persieds shower, known as one of the year’s best.
To make the most out of viewing, head to a location devoid of light and allow time for your eyes to adjust to the night sky.
