Delta Aquarid Meteor Shower Peaks On 28 July

Delta Aquarid Meteor Sky Map on 28 July 2006The Southern Delta Aquarid meteor shower peaks on July 28th. Go outside before dawn on Friday morning, look south, and you could see a meteor every five minutes or so.

No one knows where these meteors come from. They could be remains of a long-dead comet or debris from an asteroid-asteroid collision. Curious fact: There is a debris stream nearly parallel to this one. Earth will pass through it on August 8th, producing the Northern Delta Aquarid meteor shower. It’s a mystery, too.

I haven’t seen a meteor this year. I’ve missed 3 meteor shower events, I hope I have the luck to take a look on it again.
