    Southern Delta-Aquariids Meteors Peak (wee hours)

    The annual Southern Delta-Aquariids meteor shower lasts from July 18 to August 21. In 2025 it will peak during the wee hours of Tuesday morning, July 29 in the Americas, but it is quite active for a week surrounding the peak night.
    The best viewing time will run from late Monday evening until the sky starts
    to brighten on Tuesday morning. The waxing crescent moon will not affect the shower this year. The Southern Delta-Aquariids shower, produced by debris dropped from the periodic Comet 96P/Machholz, commonly generates 15-20 meteors per hour at the peak. It is best enjoyed from the southern tropics, where the shower's radiant, in southern Aquarius, climbs higher in the sky.
