Prepare for the Aquariids Meteor Shower
Mark your calendars for the Southern delta Aquariid meteor shower, which peaks on July 30-31. This celestial spectacle is best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere, where the skies are likely to deliver a better show. Unfortunately, for those in the Northern Hemisphere, the experience may be less impressive. Expect only a few faint streaks as the shower originates from the Aquarius constellation.
As the peak approaches, it’s wise to keep your expectations grounded. The shower promises some dazzling moments, but it may not be as vibrant as other meteor showers throughout the year. Stargazers should find a dark, open space to enhance their viewing experience. Bring along a blanket or a reclining chair to lay back and enjoy the night sky.
