![]() It is expected to remain active until mid-August, with the peak being Saturday night and into Sunday morning. The second active meteor shower is the Alpha Capricornids. While the peak of the Aquariids shower was last night, with the moon being 1% full, you might still be able to catch a few faint meteors from Aquariids throughout most of the month of August. If you are located above the equator where the radiant is located lower in the southern sky, your chances of seeing any activity from this particular shower will be limited. The Delta Aquariids is a strong meteor shower that is best seen from the southern tropics. The Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids, and the Perseids meteor showers are all expected to be active through mid-to-late August. Currently star gazers have three separate meteor showers which could send a streak of light across the night sky. Summer is a great time to stay up late and try to catch a glimpse of a shooting star. While the Delta Aquariids showers peaked this morning, the Alpha Capricornids is expected to peak tonight and into tomorrow. With three active meteor showers currently, you should have a decent chance of seeing a falling star this weekend and into late August.
