The Best Meteor Showers to Watch in July and August

As the second half of July and the early days of August approach, it’s the perfect time to step outside and gaze at the night sky. During this period, three of the year’s most spectacular meteor showers will peak, each offering its own unique viewing experience. From the Northern Hemisphere where summer temperatures are balmy to the Southern Hemisphere with longer nights, meteor-spotting will be a delightful activity for all sky-gazers.

Alpha Capricornids

Starting around July 12, the Alpha Capricornids meteor shower will be visible in both northern and southern skies, reaching its peak on July 29 to 30. Originating from a short-period comet named 169/NEAT, these meteors are known for their brightness, making them a favorite among stargazers.

Perseids

The Perseids meteor shower, which appears around July 17, will peak on August 12 to 13. These meteors, originating from Comet Swift-Tuttle, are prolific, with an average of 50 to 75 meteors per hour under dark sky conditions. Despite the presence of a waxing gibbous Moon this year, ample viewing opportunities will be available throughout the month of August.

Southern Delta Aquariids

Starting on July 18, the Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower will peak on July 29 to 30. Although fainter compared to other meteor showers, these meteors can still be impressive. This year, optimal viewing conditions are expected due to the waxing crescent Moon setting before the radiation is high.

How Meteor Showers Occur

Meteor showers happen when Earth passes through the debris left behind by comets or asteroids as they orbit the Sun. As this debris collides with Earth’s atmosphere, it burns up, creating a glowing trail or fireball that is visible to the naked eye.

Tips for Meteor Watching

For the best meteor viewing experience, consider using a sky-watching app like Star Walk to track when each constellation is due to rise. Don’t forget to bring along blankets, snacks, and any equipment if you wish to capture the moment on film.
