In late July, the meteors radiate near the area of Alpha Capricorni, a double star visible to the naked eye. This area of the sky rises in the east at about 8 p.m. Local Daylight Time, but very little activity can be seen at this time because many of the meteors are blocked by the horizon.

The nighttime skies will be filled with shooting stars in the coming weeks due to the annual Perseid meteor shower.

Peaking at their full glory on the same day in July are the Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids meteor showers. Here's when to look up.
