The Delta Aquarid Meteor Shower is Underway
Space Weather reports that, "Sky watchers who have been going outside between midnight and dawn to see Mars have lately been seeing something else, too: shooting stars. Mars is in the constellation Aquarius, and so is the radiant of the delta Aquarid meteor shower, which peaks this year on July 28th and 29th. This is not a major shower. It produces just 10 to 20 meteors each hour. But if you stand outside for 10 minutes or so, you're likely to spot a few delta Aquarids--a lovely bonus for Mars watchers." :: Submitted for your signs in the stars (Luke 21:25) and signs in the heavens (Luke 21:11) files.
