Two meteor showers, the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids, will peak this week, offering sky-watchers a chance to see fireballs. The Alpha Capricornids, known for bright meteors, peak Tuesday night, while the Southern Delta Aquariids peak Wednesday morning. The Southern Delta Aquariids are expected to be more active, with 10-15 meteors per hour visible in the Northern Hemisphere. Both showers will be visible through August 13th, and viewing is best in dark, high-altitude locations.
