A double meteor shower peak is expected this week, although viewing conditions may be challenging. The Alpha Capricornids and Southern Delta Aquariids are the two showers involved, with activity periods from early July to mid-August and mid-July to mid-August, respectively. These showers are expected to reach their peak on Thursday night into Friday.

However, the full moon, which peaks on Wednesday, may hinder visibility of fainter meteors due to its reflected light. Further details on the meteor showers, including viewing information, are available from the American Meteor Society. Local sky-gazers can look to these sources for more information on how to catch a glimpse of the cosmic activity.
