Night sky to feature Buck Moon, meteor showers, and solar eclipse

The night sky in late July and early August 2026 will feature several astronomical events, including the full Buck Moon and the peak of the Delta Aquariid meteor shower. While the Delta Aquariids may be faint, the Alpha Capricornids and Perseids meteor showers will also be active, offering opportunities to see shooting stars. Additionally, the planet Mercury will be visible in the early morning sky, and a total solar eclipse is anticipated for August 12th, with its path of totality crossing parts of Greenland, Iceland, and Spain.
