The two natural light displays are set to become most active on the same night this week as the Earth passes through the tail of two comets.
Still, both meteor showers will last for weeks after their peak and AMS notes that the Southern Delta Aquariids produce good meteor rates for a week centered on the night of maximum activity.particularly bright meteorsWatching a meteor shower does not require any extra equipment, but some planning and preparation may improve the experience.
In addition, meteor showers are usually dimmer in city and suburban conditions, so people may want to plan their observing session away from city lights. Delta Aquariids are so called because their radiant is in the constellation Aquarius. The radiant of the Alpha Capricornids is near to the constellation Capricornus, from which the shower gets its name.. Most showers will produce a steady, reliable show of meteors instead of a big display.
As the sun heats the comet up, the comet releases a trail of debris behind it, and when the Earth passes through this debris some of the pieces speed through the planet's atmosphere and burn up resulting in a brief, bright streak across the sky.
