The best viewing times are between 12 a.m. and 3 a.m. in the southern sky. The prolific Perseid meteor shower is also under way in the northern sky. Late summer’s season of nighttime spectacles gets an unofficial kickoff Tuesday as two regular meteor showers will peak simultaneously tonight and into early Wednesday.

Two meteor showers will peak simultaneously Tuesday night into Wednesday, giving stargazers a celestial double feature. The Alpha Capricornids and the Southern Delta Aquarids will begin their peak late on July 29 into the early hours of July 30.
