In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.

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."

Three different meteor showers are happening at the same time this month, giving skywatchers plenty of chances to spend their summer nights looking for shooting stars.
