Dueling meteor showers will light up the skies Monday night

Two meteor showers will peak Monday night, according to the American Meteor Society:

The Southern delta Aquariids, which are active now through August 23, will bring about 16 meteors across the sky per hour. Coming out of the southern sky … usually faint meteors that lack both persistent trains and fireballs.

The alpha Capricornids, which are active through August 15 will bring about five meteors per hour…notable about this shower is the bright fireballs produced during its activity period. This shower is seen equally well on either side of the equator.

With both meteor showers in full force Monday, people could see up to 21 meteors per hour.

The Perseids are also active right now, running from July 17 to Aug. 26, but are not expected to peak until the night of Aug. 12.
