Cloud Radar Forcast<\/p>\nThree-For Tuesday?<\/p>\n
If looking up is as important a pastime for you as it is me, you\u2019ll want to get outside tonight. We\u2019ve got not one, not two, but three meteor showers lighting up the skies over Simcoe County, if you’re somewhere where the sky will be clear. <\/p>\n
Weather permitting, the Delta Aquariids, Alpha Capricornids, and the growing Perseids will converge for one night, with the former two peaking after midnight tonight.<\/p>\n
Cloud Radar Forcast<\/p>\n
Delta Aquariids \u2013 The Showstopper<\/p>\n
The Delta Aquariids are the most active right now. They peak late tonight (July 29) into the early morning hours of July 30. Expect around 15-20 meteors per hour, with the radiant point in the southeastern sky, near the constellation Aquarius. The best time to watch is between midnight and 4 a.m., when the Moon won\u2019t outshine the action.<\/p>\n
Alpha Capricornids \u2013 Slow and Bright<\/p>\n
The Alpha Capricornids aren\u2019t as frequent, but they make up for it with slow-moving, bright fireballs. You might only see 5 or so per hour, but they\u2019re often the most dramatic. Look low in the southern sky, and keep your eyes peeled for those long-burning streaks.<\/p>\n
Perseids \u2013 Just Getting Started<\/p>\n
The famous Perseids haven\u2019t peaked yet (that\u2019s coming August 11\u201313) but you\u2019ll still catch some early risers tonight. They\u2019ll appear to radiate from the northeast, near the constellation Perseus, just before dawn.<\/p>\n
Local Viewing Tips for Simcoe County<\/p>\n
Find a dark sky area away from city lights, maybe rural areas like outside Oro-Medonte, Horseshoe Valley, or along Lake Simcoe\u2019s northern shore. Any of the great county and concession roads away from light will work too. Bring a lawn chair, take time to let your eyes adjust, and enjoy nature\u2019s fireworks. And fingers crossed for clear skies!<\/p>\n
