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.

The dual peak — Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids — will unfold from the evening of Tuesday, July 29, through the pre-dawn hours of Wednesday, July 30.
