The Delta Aquarid meteor shower is made up of the remnants of the 96P / Machholz comet as it crosses the Earth and drops again. Delta Aquarid meteor shower takes place annually from July 15 to July 20, and this year culminates in the morning of July 28.

The good time to observe this meteor shower is from the evening of July 27 until the morning of July 28. This year with the full moon (and also the total eclipse), the Moon will be a huge obstacle when its glare can reduce your observed meteor.

Observe the Delta Aquarid meteor shower from the evening of July 27 in the east sky at the constellation Aquarius, this constellation has grown into the sky after 9 pm.

Because of the focus of meteor shower near this constellation Delta Aquarii (Skat) , it is named Delta Aquarid (the way it is owned). However, you don't need to find the center of a meteor shower, because meteor streaks will radiate from the eastern sky and appear in the sky.

To observe meteor shower, you must observe in dark places, no urban light, no clouds or thunderstorms. Keep your eyes in the dark for more than 15 minutes and avoid looking at the light sources, so your eyes will get used to the darkness and see more easily.

Note : absolutely do not look at mobile devices while watching, it may adversely affect your eyes and the results of the observation.
