Two meteor showers peak amid bright moonlight, Perseids build

Two annual meteor showers, the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids, are set to peak on the night of July 30-31. While the Southern Delta Aquariids can produce up to 25 meteors per hour, the Alpha Capricornids are known for fewer but more spectacular fireballs. Both showers will contend with significant moonlight from a nearly full Buck Moon, though brighter meteors should still be visible. Meanwhile, the Perseid meteor shower is building in activity and will peak later in August under moonless conditions. AI
