This week the world admires huge meteor shower with the naked eye
This week, people around the world will be able to see the Delta Aquarids meteor shower most visually on July 28 and 29.
Meteor shower is a phenomenon that occurs when hundreds of celestial fireballs glow in the night sky. While waiting for one of the most anticipated meteor showers - The Perseids - taking place in August, people can still enjoy another equally heavy rain at the end of this month.
People are eager to look forward to the meteor shower later this month.
People around the world can see the meteor shower named Delta Aquarids most visually on July 28, 29. According to Science Alert, Delta Aquarids is mostly concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere, however, People in the Northern Hemisphere can still see.
Although it reached its peak at the end of the month, it was still scattered until August 23, mixed with The Perseids that appeared in the middle of that month. Because meteorites are quite fuzzy, the best time to observe is about midnight, when there is only moonlight and artificial light. If you don't see it directly, people can still enjoy it indirectly via the Slooh Observatory, on the Canary Islands.
The meteor shower occurs when the comet comes close to the sun and creates debris - also known as meteorites - firing around the comet's orbit. Meteor shower reaches Earth when the orbit of the planet coincides with the path of the comet. Meteors will move parallel to each other and at the same speed. Standing on Earth will feel like they originate from a single point in the sky.
Due to the Delta Aquarids meteor shower that occurred at a time similar to the Battle of Perseid, many people were confused. However, people can differentiate through their direction. In the Northern Hemisphere, Delta Aquarids will appear from the south , while Perseids will come from the north. In contrast, in the Southern Hemisphere, Delta Aquarids originated from above and Perseids traveled from the north.
