SOUTHERN DELTA AQUARIID METEOR SHOWER:

SOUTHERN DELTA AQUARIID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is passing through a stream of debris from Comet 96P/Machholz, source of the annual Southern Delta Aquariid meteor shower. Forecasers expect 15 to 20 meteors per hour to streak out of the constellation Aquarius on July 29-30 when the shower peaks. The best time to look is during the hours between midnight and sunrise.

Although the shower favors the southern hemisphere, it is possible to see Southern Delta Aquariids from the north, too. David Hoffmann caught this early arrival over Ashland, Oregon, on July 27th:

"I love watching meteors; they appear without warning and then are gone in a flash," says Hoffman. "Occasionally though, one will hang on a bit longer in that canopy of forever."

Got clouds? Try listening to the Southern Delta Aquariid meteor shower on Space Weather Radio. The audio stream is playing radar echoes from the USAF Space Surveillance Radar in Kickapoo, Texas. Overpassing meteors and satellites can make loud pings.
