Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower
The Southern Delta Aquariids peak tonight, July 30–31, 2026 — a steady meteor shower radiating from the constellation Aquarius, joined this year by the overlapping Alpha Capricornids for a rare double display. The Delta Aquariids come from debris shed by comet 96P/Machholz; as Earth sweeps through that dusty trail, tiny particles burn up high in the atmosphere and streak across the summer sky.
Peak nights favor dark horizons away from city glow, with eyes given a few minutes to adjust. You do not need a telescope — meteors are best taken in with a wide view of the sky, lying back or reclining so Aquarius can climb into view after midnight. This year the Alpha Capricornids add slower, sometimes brighter fireballs to the same late-July window, so patient skywatchers may catch two showers in one night.
This free Space jigsaw on PuzzleBeat captures that meteor-streak atmosphere. Rebuild Delta Aquariids Meteor Shower at your own pace — choose your piece count and play instantly in your browser with no download or account required.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the Delta Aquariids?
- The Delta Aquariids are an annual meteor shower caused by Earth passing through debris from comet 96P/Machholz. Meteors appear to radiate from the constellation Aquarius and produce a steady late-July display under dark skies.
- When do the Delta Aquariids peak?
- In 2026, the Southern Delta Aquariids peak on the night of July 30 into July 31. Activity builds before the peak and tapers afterward, and this year they overlap with the Alpha Capricornids for a rare double shower.
- Do you need a telescope to see them?
- No. Meteor showers are best seen with the naked eye. A telescope narrows your field of view; instead, find a dark spot, look up broadly, and give your eyes time to adapt to the night.
