Tonight, British stargazers will be in for a treat as the Delta Aquariid meteor shower reaches its dazzling peak. Up to 25 meteors will zoom through the sky an hour - and they're best viewable without a telescope or binoculars.
Dr Greg Brown, astronomer at the Royal Observatory Greenwich, explained that the Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids meteor showers will peak on the nights of the 29th and 30th of July respectively. The Delta Aquariids have an ideal rate of around 25 meteors per hour while the Alpha Capricornids is weaker.
