Late July and early August offer prime viewing for the Delta Aquariids, coinciding with the Perseid meteor shower.
- The Delta Aquariid meteor shower peaks on July 30, 2024, with optimal viewing before midnight to avoid moonlight.
- This meteor shower runs from July 18 to August 21, blending with the Perseids in early August.
- The Delta Aquariids favor Southern Hemisphere observers but are also visible from southern U.S. latitudes.
