GREENVILLE, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Dust off the telescope and keep your eyes toward the sky; the Southern Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower will be active in the coming days and into the middle of August. It will be mostly visible during its peak toward the end of July as the rate of the meteor shower increases.

The Southern Delta Aquariids display happens between July 12 and August 23 and peaks on July 30. Up to 25 meteors an hour may be visible above us. The best time to look for the meteors is just before dawn, when they are at their maximum.

Stargazers are in for a rare treat at month’s end, when two separate meteor showers each peak activity on the same night, promising a combined rate of up to 30 “shooting stars” an hour. According to the American Meteor Society,

Peaking on the same day in July are the Alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids meteor showers.

String of summer meteor showers are underway over South Carolina, with the Perseids and Delta Aquariids joining the already active Alpha Capricornids.

To have the best shot at viewing the Southern Delta Aquariids, NASA recommends looking halfway between the horizon and the zenith, and 45 degrees from the constellation of Aquarius. It may take roughly 30 minutes for your eyes to adapt to the darkness before you're able to see the meteors.

Stargazing season is here in Central Minnesota, with three meteor showers offering a dazzling display from now until mid-August.

As the nights grow warmer, stargazers can catch a glimpse of shooting stars—faint but mesmerizing. The cosmic dance kicks of with the Aquariids this week, followed by the famously bright and beautiful Perseid meteor shower.
