Lesser-Known Meteor Showers to Watch

Beyond the Perseids, six other meteor showers add to the summer stargazing experience. The Capricornids, active from early July to mid-August, are known for their bright fireballs. The Delta Aquariids, peaking in late July, can produce dozens of meteors per hour under dark skies. Other showers like the Piscis Australids and Alpha Capricornids offer unique viewing opportunities, with the latter producing striking yellow fireballs. These displays extend the meteor-watching season and provide a steady stream of celestial activity.
