When and where to watch the Southern Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids and Perseid meteor shower this week

Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids peak overnight on July 30-31, 2026.

Perseid meteor shower continues building toward its peak on August 12-13.

A bright Buck Moon reduces visible meteors, but bright fireballs may still be seen under clear skies.

Best viewing is after midnight and before dawn, with darkest skies before sunrise.

Southern Delta Aquariids produce up to 25 meteors per hour, while Alpha Capricornids produce about five but with exceptionally bright shooting stars.
