According to NASA, meteor showers (often called shooting stars) are produced when pieces of comet debris heat up and burn as they enter the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in bright bursts of light streaking across the sky.

Stargazers are gearing up for not 1, but 3 celestial events heading into the end of the month. Starting on July 7th, this minor meteor shower is known for producing what the American Meteor Society calls “fireballs.

Between July 18 and Aug. 12, you can see the Southern Delta Aquariids shower in the Northern Hemisphere by looking to the south. Under dark skies, the shower can have a maximum hourly rate of 15-20 meteors. It occurs at the beginning of the Perseids. Unable to view our graphics? Click here to see them.

Southern Delta Aquariids: This meteor shower typically peaks in late July and produces "between 10 and 20 meteors per hour around this (the peak)," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. "A truly dark sky offers the best chance of seeing the Delta Aquariids, as they tend not to be as bright as some of the other meteor showers."

The chance to see two or three meteor showers in the night sky all at once is coming up, with a treat coming to the Oklahoma skies in just a few days.

The Perseids, alpha Capricornids and Southern delta Aquariids are all currently active, with the latter two peaking in late July.
