The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaked overnight from Wednesday to the early morning hours of Thursday, offering a quiet spectacle for those patient enough to seek it out under dark, clear skies.
At its best, the Southern Delta Aquariids can produce up to 20 meteors per hour in the Southern Hemisphere, with fewer than 10 visible per hour in northern skies. Thanks to minimal moonlight interference, viewing conditions were favorable, provided the skies were clear and far from city lights.

According to NASA, this annual meteor shower originates from debris left behind by Comet 96P/Machholz, a short-period comet that orbits the sun every 5.3 years. As Earth crosses the comet's orbital path, millimeter-sized particles of dust slam into our atmosphere at speeds of about 45 kilometers per second, creating fast and faint meteor streaks.
The meteors' low brightness and southern radiant in the constellation Aquarius make them a challenge to catch, particularly from northern latitudes. But while the naked eye may miss many of these dim meteors, radar instruments detect their ionization trails in abundance, reminding us of the cosmic activity constantly unfolding overhead.

The Southern Delta Aquariids may not be the flashiest show in the sky, but they offer a moment of quiet wonder for dedicated stargazers.
And for those seeking a more dramatic celestial event, there's good news: the Perseid meteor shower will peak on the night of August 11 to 12, and the Geminids meteor shower is expected to peak on December 13 to 14. Both are known for their bright, frequent meteors and are considered the year's most spectacular sky shows.
